Chapter 2 Operation Modes
Chapter 2 Operation Modes
The Pharos series products support six modes to satisfy user’s diversified network requirements
including Access Point mode, Client mode, Repeater (Range Extender) mode, Bridge mode, AP
Router mode and AP Client Router (WISP Client) mode. This chapter introduces typical usage
scenarios of each mode. You can choose the desired scenario according to your needs, and refer
to the Installation Guide for hardware connection instruction and Chapter 3 Quick Setup Guide
for software configuration.
Access Point
In AP mode, the device acts as a central hub and provides wireless access point for wireless
clients, thus the AP mode is very applicable to the following three scenarios. Meanwhile, Multi-
SSID function can be enabled in this mode, providing up to four wireless networks with different
SSIDs and passwords.
Scenario 1
Network requirements: Establish the network coverage in the remote areas without long-distance
cabling.
The device in the network: In the adjacent town covered by wired network, ISP (Internet Service
Provider) can put up a device in AP mode with the access to ISP network by connecting to ISP’s
router to transform wired signal into wireless one. The remote users can put up a device in AP
Client Router mode to access the Internet the AP device provides wirelessly.
Advantages: Transmit data wirelessly across a long distance and reduce the cabling cost.
