1. To operate the router in the access point mode, you need to select "AP" and click on the "Next" button.



2. By default, some of the parameters will already be as required, the rest must be fill. Special attention should be paid to the following fields:
   • "SSID" is the name of the WiFi network, it will be displayed on all devices that will want to connect to the router.
   • "Mode" - determines which protocols will work network. Most often, 11BGN is required to work on mobile devices.
