• Router-Modus: The default mode, where the device acts as a gateway for your network, providing internet access and managing local network traffic.
• Access Point (AP)-Modus: Extends an existing wired network by adding wireless connectivity. In this mode, internet features are typically disabled, and the device acts as a wireless hub.
• Repeater-Modus: Extends the range of an existing wireless network by receiving and re-transmitting the wireless signal.

Select the desired mode using the physical EZ Switch on the router before proceeding with software configuration.
