Section 1 - Product Overview
Hardware Overview
Switching Among AP, Client, and Router Mode
The DIR-604 features a hardware switch located on the bottom of the device that enables users to switch among Router
mode, Client mode, and AP mode.
When the DIR-604 is operating in AP mode, the device acts as a basic access point without any routing functionality.
When the DIR-604 is operating in Client mode, the PC that is connected to the device will use it as a wireless network
interface in order that it can connect to a wireless router or access point.
When the DIR-604 is operating in Router mode, WAN connectivity is achieved via the DIR-604’s Ethernet port. In this
mode LAN clients need to access the DIR-604 via the DIR-604’s wireless connection.
Mode Switch

Client mode, and Router mode.
Reset Button

seconds to restore the Router to
its original factory default settings.
