About access point mode

Model: Archer AX55

Hardware Version: V1

Firmware Version: 1.2.6 build 20231130

Hi. I want to know that I just connect ax55 (to use it as AP) to original wireless router that I use by connect lan(zyxel) to wan(tplink ax55) and set new ssid without set it into AP mode and it's work( I think it auto turn itself to AP). So, Is it correct to just connect it without setting AP? Or I should do as user guide said. Is it will lose some function?

thank you.

@Augratin

Here's the difference between router mode and AP mode.

If you leave AX55 in router mode in this configuration, it will work but will introduce a double NAT in your network.

If that's not a concern for you, leave it that way. If it is, just switch to AP mode.
