In the menu "WAN Settings" - > "WAN Connection Type" - > "Connection Type" select
"Disabled", in the menu of "Network Settings" - > "Router IP Configuration" Set IP address
of gateway with the same LAN IP.Then Wired Ethernet Connection is finished.
Mode 2: DHCP-4G
The IP address of the WAN port is obtained by dhcp-4G
Keep Online
This function is to detect whether the Internet connection is active. If users set it, the
F8L10GW will automatically detect the Internet connection. Once gateway detects the link
disconnected or invalid, the system will automatically reconnect and re-establish the
effective connection. If network is busy or in private network, Router mode is
recommended.
Keep Online:
None: disable Keep Online function.
Ping: Send ping packet to detect connection. In this mode, "Detection Interval",

"Primary Detection Server IP" and "Backup Detection Server IP" must be configured
correctly.
Route: Detect connection with route method. In this mode, "Detection Interval",
"Primary Detection Server IP" and "Backup Detection Server IP" must be configured
correctly.
PPP: The PPP mode is to detect connection. In this mode, "Detection Interval" must
be configured correctly.
Detection Interval: time interval between two detection, unit is second
Primary Detection Server IP: Primary server IP used to response gateway’s
detection packet.This item is only valid for "Ping" and "Route".
Backup Detection Server IP: Backup server IP used to response gateway’s
detection packet. This item is only valid for "Ping" and "Route".
STP
STP（Spanning Tree Protocol）can be applied to the loop network, Through certain
algorithm achieves path redundancy, and loop network cuts to tree-based network without
loop in the meantime, thus to avoid the hyperplasia and infinite circulation of a message in
the loop network .
3.3.2 WiFi
