operation, you can MANUALLY switch to the mode you desired by the manufacturer as described
in the following sections.
2.1 Operation Modes
You have to MANUALLY switch the bar into the mode you preferred, AP, Gateway, or Client mode,
then the device will reboot automatically into the mode you have selected.

When acting as an Access Point (AP), this device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with
wireless network adapter) to a wireless network. All stations can have the Internet access if only the
Access Point has the Internet connection.
