Wired WAN: In this mode, the cable is directly connected to the WAN port. Wired WAN is the default
mode.

use it to amplify wireless signals.

network by entering the correct SSID, namely the SSID of the ISP’s wireless device. You can click the
“Open scan” button to let the router automatically search the ISP’s available SSID. The SSID can also
be the SSID of the superior wireless device when using wireless bridge.

click the “Open scan” button to let the router automatically search the wireless device’s MAC or superior
wireless device’s MAC.

security mode, encryption mode and key as the ISP’ wireless device.

and channel respectively into the corresponding fields of the above picture. If the ISP device is secured,
please set your router’s encryption type the same as the ISP device’s .Or you can click the “Open scan”
button to let the router automatically fill in the SSID, Channel and wireless MAC. After saving, come
