American Power Conversion 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router Network Router User Manual


 
Modes
1-5
Use AP/Router mode in any of the following situations:
The Ethernet port is connected to a broadband modem rather than an Ethernet port.
There is permission for ONLY ONE (1) user to connect to the LAN or WAN, but multiple user connections are required. (In
AP/Router mode, the IP address on the Ethernet port is shared by all wireless clients.)
Notes: 1. AP/Router mode uses a technology called “NAPT” (Network Address Port Translation), and NAPT may cause
problems with some complex multi-user communication applications. (There is no problem with common
services such as HTTP, FTP, E-mail, etc.). Should problems occur, try getting permission for all users to
connect to the LAN/WAN and use AP mode instead.
2. It is possible to connect to the APC 3-in-1 Wireless Mobile Router and change its configuration while it is
AP/Router mode.
The IP address used is the wireless LAN IP address, which can be set on the AP/Router Setup screen. The default value is 192.168.0.1
(the same as the Config mode IP address); however, this address can be modified as needed.
Note: Users must change the wireless LAN IP address if the LAN/WAN is using the address range 192.168.0.1 ~ 192.168.0.254.
