Click Save & Restart to commit the changes and the router will reboot automatically with the new settings in effect. Router Mode The Dell TrueMobile 2300 Wireless Broadband Router device comes with two operating modes, the Gateway mode and the Access Point mode. Gateway mode allows your router to create a wireless network to access the broadband router. Wired and wireless network devices share the same Internet connection through Internet port in the Gateway mode. However, some ISP may request you to do the additional setup such as PPPoE, before using your router to access Internet. Access Point mode allows your router to act as a bridge between wireless devices and Ethernet devices in the existing network. All wired and wireless devices are located in the same class C subnet. Internet port is useless here. Thus, Access Point mode is here to help you setting up a single isolated network. NOTE: If the device is put in AP mode, the Internet Connection Settings will not be available. The Gateway mode is the default setting in Wireless Broadband Router. Click the radio button to select between these two modes. Click NEXT to continue. Back to Top Wireless Settings
