• Router Mode - In Router Mode, the access point routes traffic between the local network
(LAN) and the Internet or external network (WAN). Router mode is recommended in a
deployment supported by just a single access point.
• Bridge Mode - In Bridge Mode, the access point depends on an external router for routing
LAN and WAN traffic. Routing is generally used on one device, whereas bridging is typically
used in a larger density network. Select Bridge Mode when deploying this access point
with numerous peer access points supporting clients on both the 2.4 GHz and 5.0 GHz
radio bands.
NOTE
When Bridge Mode is selected, WAN configuration cannot be performed and the Initial Setup Wizard
does not display the WAN configuration screen.
6. Select Next. The Advanced Setup Wizard displays the LAN Configuration screen to set the
access point's LAN interface. For more information, see LAN Configuration on page 3-33.
