The router can work in 2 modes:
• Wi-Fi as access point: It provides Internet to other host machines in its network over Wi-Fi. It
can get Internet connection from WAN or cellular.
• Wi-Fi as client mode: the router will act as a client to existing wireless networks. The router
will accept the Internet access through wireless access provided by another service provider
and then distribute the access to the machines connected to the router on its LAN interface.
At any point of time, the router can work either in client mode or in Master mode (Access Point).
