Configuring the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway
Running the Smart Configuration Wizard
• connect your wireless computer(s) to a metro wi-fi network?: Select this
option if you want the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway to operate as a router. Router
mode provides the capability to perform NAT (Network Address Translation)
for the traffic from the WAN interface (Internet) to the LAN interface. It allows
home users to hide the IP address from the Internet.
• connect your home router to a metro wi-fi network?: Select this option if
you want the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway to operate as a bridge. Bridge mode allows
the device to act like Layer 2 (or bridge) device. When bridge mode is selected,
the home computer’s IP address will be assigned from the WAN interface when
the DHCP is enabled on the home computers.

5. Click the option button next to the name/SSID of the Wireless Broadband Network
with which you want to associate. If wireless security is enabled on the network,

Password box that appears below the network name/SSID.
