The IOT-R51W router provides two functions of Access Point mode ( AP ) and Client
mode ( STA ). Through the function of AP mode, you can provide wireless LAN
hotspots for easy access to the network and save wiring troubles; use the client
mode, you can connect the router to other AP devices.
When using AP mode to you can opt to make your network invisible “Hide SSID >
On”. Only those who know your network name and password will be able to join.
IOT-R51W also can suppo multiple networks/SSID “Network > WLAN > Create”.
These can be used to dene dierent networks for security reasons or to apply some
rules and policies on networks.

LAN Conguration

MQTT topic is a string used in the MQTT protocol to identify and route messag-
es. It is a key element in communication between MQTT publishers and
subscribers. In the MQTT publish/subscribe model, publishers send messages to
specic topics, while subscribers can subscribe to those topics to receive the
messages.
Broker platform as an example from AIOT
The conguration of the LAN po is mainly used for the connection between
the router and the slave device, so that the slave device can access the external
network through the router, and also ensures the normal communication
between the various network segments connected to the router.

( For situation when you are unable to modify your camera’s IP address, you can
modify router’s IP address to match instead. )
Click “Network > LAN”
1. VFirst change the netmask of the router to match with your camera.
2. Check camera and router's IP address, make sure the IP address is on the
same network segment, according to the division of the subnet mask.
For example:
The IP address of the camera is 192.168.254.4, and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0; while the IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1, and the subnet
mask is 255.255.255.0; judging by the subnet mask, the rst three segments of
the IP should be the same, so change the IP address of the router to
192.168.254.x;
