Operation Overview

The AP/Bridge by default runs "Auto" mode, in this mode, it will detect if it's wired connected to
a router (with DHCP server), if so, it will automatically set itself to "Access Point" (the GUI will
show AP banner), this will take about 30~60 seconds. If no DHCP is detected through wired
connection, it will set itself to "Bridge" (Station) mode (the GUI will show Bridge banner), this
takes about 60~90 seconds.
In Auto mode, if no DHCP server is detected, it runs in Bridge mode, but if DHCP server is later
detected, and this bridge is not connected to any Access Point, it will automatically switch to
Access Point mode.
By default, the units run in DHCP client mode, that means AP and Bridge (if connected to the
AP) will both get DHCP IPs from the router.
The device has a built-in web server, accessible through PC browsers.
If the PC is directly connected to the device, the PC can access http://www.mywifiext.net to
access the device GUI.
If the PC is directly connected to the router, then the user needs to log in the router's
configuration GUI, finds out what DHCP IPs the devices (both AP and STA) get, then connect to
their GUIs by browsing to their IP addresses.
