229 The DLOS8N supports flexible network set up for different environments. This section describes the typical network topology. The network set up includes:

231 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
232 * **WiFi Client Mode**
233 * **WiFi AP Mode**
234 * **Cellular Mode**
235
236 == 3.2 Use WAN port to access Internet ==
237
238 By default, the DLOS8N is set to use the WAN port to connect to an upstream network. When you connect the DLOS8N’s WAN port to an upstream router, DLOS8N 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:#4f81bd" %)**home page**:
