165.1	253	=== 2.2.1 Overview ===
35.1	254
26.1	255
165.1	256	LPS8-V2 supports flexible network set up for different environment. This section describes the typical network topology can be set in LPS8-V2. The typical network set up includes:
26.1	257
165.1	258	* WAN Port Internet Mode
205.5	259
165.1	260	* WiFi Client Mode
205.5	261
165.1	262	* Cellular Mode
	263

	265
165.1	266	=== 2.2.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ===
	267
	268
	269	By default, the LPS8-V2 is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the LPS8-V2's WAN port to an upstream router, LPS8-V2 will get an IP address from the router and have Internet access via the upstream router. The network status can be checked in the (% style="color:blue" %)home page(%%):

	274
	275	=== 2.2.3 Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
	276
	277
	278	In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.
	279
	280	The settings for WiFi Client is under page (% style="color:blue" %)Network ~-~-> Wi-Fi

	287	=== 2.2.4 Use built-in 4G modem for internet access ===
	288
	289
165.2	290	(% style="color:blue" %)Since Hardware version HP0C 1.4
165.1	291
	292	Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
	293
	294
	295	If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
	296
	297	First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
	298
	299	Second, Power off/ ON LPS8-V2 to let it detect the SIM card.
