Kilight Cao 165.1 235 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:
Xiaoye 26.1 236
Kilight Cao 165.1 237 * **WAN Port Internet Mode**
238 * **WiFi Client Mode**
239 * **Cellular Mode**
240
241 === 2.2.2  Use WAN port to access Internet ===
242
243
244 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**(%%):

250 === 2.2.3  Access the Internet as a WiFi Client ===
251
252
253 In the WiFi Client Mode, LPS8-V2 acts as a WiFi client and gets DHCP from an upstream router via WiFi.

267 Users can see whether LPS8v2 has EC25 on the label of the gateway to determine whether there is 3G/4G Cellular modem.
268
269
270 If the LPS8-V2 has 3G/4G Cellular modem, user can use it as main internet connection or back up.
271
272 First, install the Micro SIM card as below direction
