22.1 Overview
Use this screen to select how you want to use your Zyxel Device. The Operating Mode function lets you
configure your Zyxel Device as a router or access point. You can choose between Router Mode, and
Access Point (AP) Mode depending on your network topology and the features you require from your
Zyxel Device.
Click Maintenance > Operating Mode to show the following screen. The Zyxel Device has the following
operating modes:
• Router: This is the Zyxel Device’s default mode. In this mode, the Zyxel Device routes traffic between a
local network and another network such as the Internet.
• Access Point (AP): Use this mode if you already have a router in your network and want to use the
Zyxel Device as an access point to bridge a wired network (LAN) and another LAN or wireless LAN
(WLAN) in the same subnet.
