5.3 System Configuration – Operation Mode

At 9100MESH model, it adds a selection

are typically assigned by the wired

network’s DHCP server. All wireless

devices connected to the AP are

configured on the same sub network as

the wired network interface and can be

accessed by devices on the wired

network.

If additional security for the wireless

network is desired (differentiating it from

the wired network to which it is
