From the drop-down menu of Working Mode, the device supports five working modes: AP, P2P Bridge, P2MP Bridge, AP Repeater and Client. Next, this user guide will explain the five modes one by one:

300M Wireless-N Access Point 16 4.1.1 Access Point (AP) Mode The AP mode is the basic mode of the device. When the system is reset to the default factory settings, the operating mode reverts to AP mode. In this mode, the AP will act as a central hub for different wireless LAN clients. For example, when traveling to a hotel that has high-speed internet access, you can connect to the internet through the AP which is connected to an Ethernet cable in the room. 4.1.1.1 Application and Topology Plan The AP mode can convert the wired transmission into wireless signals. If you have one wired cable connecting to Internet, and want to access the Internet via wireless signals connecting to your notebook computer, this mode fits perfectly.
