2.3.1. WAN
The WAN port is the connection of the 802.11n AP Router module to existing broadband device such as
Cable modem or ADSL CPE. Click WAN on Internet Setting, below screen will prompt for WAN setting.
This AP Router supports 5 methods of obtaining the WAN IP Address:
 Static IP (fixed IP): Use static IP address to access Network. Your ISP will provide a static
IP address.
 DHCP (Auto Config): Automatic gets IP address from your ISP.

PPPoE (ADSL):
PPPoE is a common connection type used for xDSL.
 PPTP: PPP Tunneling Protocol can support multi-protocol Virtual Private Network (VPN).
 L2TP: Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol can support multi-protocol Virtual Private Networks (VPN)
2.3.2. LAN
When the module operates in the Gateway mode, it supports the NAT (NAPT) feature. It means the WAN
and LAN interfaces are located in different network segments and therefore the date traffic needs to be
routed between the two interfaces.
To communicate with 802.11n router properly, must assign an IP address to the LAN port of the user’s
PC. There are two ways to assign a proper IP address to the user PC’s LAN port:
 Manual configuration of the user PC: This required if the user configures the 802.11n
router WAN port with a static IP address.
 Dynamic IP assignment with DHCP: 802.11n router can act as a DHCP server which
dynamically assigns an IP address to user’s PC located in the LAN-side network.
Click LAN on Internet Settings, below screen will prompt for LAN setting.
