4.3 Operating Modes

The router supports several operating modes to suit different network requirements:

Figure 3: Router Operating Modes

• AP Mode (Access Point): Converts a wired network into a wireless network. Connect the wired router to the WAN port of the Fenvi router.
• Repeater Mode: Extends the coverage of an existing wireless network. The Fenvi router connects wirelessly to another wireless router and re-broadcasts the signal.
• PPPoE Mode: Connects directly to the internet service provider using PPPoE credentials. The internet line connects to the WAN port.
• Client Mode: Allows the router to act as a wireless adapter for a wired device.
• Bridge Mode: Connects two separate networks wirelessly.

Refer to the web management interface for detailed configuration of each mode.

5. Operation

5.1 Wireless Connection
