II. General Settings¶
- WAN Mode: is to set your Internet connection. Select your Internet connection type from the drop-down list of Protocol. Follow the instructions on the page to complete the configuration.
- WISP: Enable the Mesh router to wirelessly connect to a distant Wi-Fi network and share that connection locally via Ethernet/Wi-Fi, acting as a client bridge.
- Wireless: is to customize the Mesh router's wireless settings, including SSID and password, mode, channel, channel width and transmit power, and so on.
- VPN: namely, Virtual Private Network, helps you access Internet resources remotely, securely, and privately through tunneling technology. When you access the Internet, VPN encrypts your personal information and hides your IP address from the public. For VPN users, it looks like the devices are directly connected.
- Firmware: Update the Mesh router's firmware to be the latest version.
