Solution:

Bridge mode Although a traditional Access Point, the limited clients (8) and the lack of enterprise security support reduce the devices application to IT type deployments.Best choice for small industrial or remote networks where the customer requires a flat network (all clients – wireless and wired – are on the same subnet). Advantages Easy to set up Single IP subnet No address translation Disadvantages Requires DHCP server on Ethernet network or static IP addresses AirborneAP requires a separate IP for administration Wired clients require knowledge of wireless clients IP Router Mode Designed to support the concept of an embedded hotspot, the WLAN interface IP address become the gateway for access on the wired side.Included DHCP server means the wireless network is self-contained Just like the client router but in reverse, access is wireless in rather than wired out. Best application where an existing wired network/device exists and a wireless gateway to it is required. Advantages Single IP address for wired to wireless resource access NAT protects resources on wireless side Supports Port Forwarding and Firewall WLAN interface is the Gateway address Supports DHCP on the WLAN interface Disadvantages Port forwarding makes set-up more complex Separate IP subnets on the wireless and wired side
