AP Mode

In Access Point Mode, the DIR-1210 connects your wireless devices together,
but does not provide routing functionality. This can be useful if you
already have an existing Internet router that does not have built-in wireless
capabilities. You can also use this to create a private wireless network without
Internet access so that your devices can connect to one another without being
exposed to the Internet or other computers.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.

Repeater Mode

In Repeater Mode, the DIR-1210 extends the range of an existing wireless
network. You can use this to extend the coverage of an existing wireless router
to provide better signal for parts of your home or office that may have poor
reception. Additionally, you can use this mode to connect a wired device to a
wireless network, which can be useful for devices that do not have a built-in
wireless card, such as some smart TVs, game consoles, or DVRs.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete setup.
