In AP client router mode, CPE 210 can connect to a wireless network and share the connection to its clients.

The wireless is its WAN side. It can also support Dynamic IP/Static IP/PPPoE/L2TP/PPTP.

imagine a typical wifi AP scenario in your house, your wifi AP/Router has a WAN cable that connects to ISP and you simply just configure LAN settings that serves WIFI clients or any other devices connected in LAN with a cable.

AP client router is same with a slight difference that here , you don’t require a physical cable in you “WAN” port but instead your CPE210 will wirelessly connect with another AP/Router in range.

Next step is to just configure an SSID that CPE210will broadcast , such that any one within it’s range can connect to it

***When the wireless station limits the number of clients or asks username/password to connect, AP Client Router Mode is what you need.***
