Relay Layer 3 Relay Mode. Relay mode can help to route between
mesh backhaul and local WiFi/LAN network. Also, a Relay mode
Mesh AP can help to route the packets from other Relay node to
the destination IP subnet or Gateway.
WAN port is disabled at this mode. At the same time no WAN
setting is required.
Client-Relay Layer 3 Client-Relay Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh node can only route between local
WiFi/LAN network to mesh backhaul. It will not help to route
packets from other Relay node. This mode can be used to reduce
the unnecessary routing especially if this Mesh node is in the
edge of the whole mesh topology.
Layer 2 Gateway Layer 2 Gateway Mode.
At this mode, the Mesh AP can be viewed as a bridge. This
bridge can bridge between WAN, LAN, Mesh backhaul, and WiFi.
As a Gateway, the WAN interface will turns into the public bridge
port that connects to the existing Ethernet network.
Be noted, only ONE Gateway is allowed in the same Mesh
network.
