The Multy Device is available in both standard (router) mode and AP (bridge) mode.

The Multy Device is set to standard (router) mode by default. The Multy Device is used to connect the local network to another network (for example, the Internet). In standard (router) mode, Multy Device has two IP addresses, a LAN IP address and a WAN IP address. It also has more routing features. In the example scenario below, Multy Device (MD) connects the local network to the Internet through a modem (M).

When the Multy Device (MD) gets a WAN IP address or a DNS server IP address which is in the same subnet as the LAN IP address 192.168.123.1, Auto-IP Change allows the Multy Device to change its LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1 automatically. If the Multy Device’s original LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the WAN IP address is in the same subnet, such as 10.0.0.3, the Multy Device switches to use 192.168.123.1 as its LAN IP address.

Auto-IP Change only works under the following conditions:

Use your Multy Device as an Bridge (AP) if you already have a router or gateway on your network. In this mode your Multy Device bridges a wired network (LAN) and WiFi in the same subnet. In Bridge (AP) mode, the Multy Device has one IP address and all Multy Device interfaces are bridged together in the same network. In the example scenario below, the Multy Device (MD) connects the local network to the Internet through a router (R).
