AP (Bridge) mode - With an EXISTING ROUTER or MODEM with a 
built-in ROUTER
If you install the base unit with your existing router or modem with a built-in router, the base 
unit should be set to AP (Bridge) mode. Select [AP (Bridge)] for your connection mode in 
Initialization Setup (page 36). In AP (Bridge) mode, the base unit connects wireless 
devices to one another and to the LAN, and allows wireless devices to use a DHCP server 
on the LAN. In most cases, routers are equipped with the function as the DHCP server.
1Switch the Mode selector to “HOME”.
2Turn off your computer properly. Unplug any cable connecting your existing router (or 
modem with a built-in router) to your computer. However, your existing router (or 
modem with a built-in router) needs to remain connected to your cable or DSL modem.
3Make sure the base unit is left unplugged. Connect the included Ethernet cable to the 
“WAN” port on the base unit and an unused Ethernet (LAN) port on your existing router 
(or modem with a built-in router).

Router mode - With a MODEM only
If you install the base unit with a modem only, the base unit should be set to Router mode. 
In Router mode, the base unit assigns IP addresses to network devices (including wireless 
devices) as a DHCP server. It also protects the network devices from being directly 
exposed to the WAN. For your connection mode, select [DHCP], [Static] or [PPPoE] in 
Initialization Setup (page 36).
