• In Advanced view, any interface can be selected as the
WAN or the LAN, but typical functionality is as follows:
• Station The WLAN functions as the WAN, and the
Ethernet port functions as the LAN.
• Access Point The Ethernet port functions as the
WAN, and the WLAN functions as the LAN.
• Each wired or wireless interface on the WAN or LAN has
its own IP address.
• For example, Router mode is used in a typical Customer
Premises Equipment (CPE) installation. The device acts
as the demarcation (demarc) point between the CPE
and Wireless Internet Service Provider (WISP), with the
wireless interface of the device connecting to the WISP.
There can be only one WAN interface, but there can be
many LAN interfaces.
The following diagram shows the NanoBeam ac at a
residence wirelessly connecting to a WISP tower.
