Eduroam uses WPA Enterprise authentication, which just isn't supported by the LB-Link. Note that the eduroam network (3rd from the top) is listed as an open network, which is just not true. It is currently connected to my network "jetten", which is indicated by a green handshake icon. The web-interface in Repeater mode allows you to connect the LB-Link to the internet through a Wifi-network. As devices will be connected to the internet using NAT, they will be protected by a firewall if the Wifi-network providing internet access wouldn't have one. This mode is useful if you are connecting to a public Wifi-network such as a hotel Wifi, as it allows you to connect multiple devices to the same network even if the network only allows you to connect one. As I said, in this mode the LB-Link will work in a similar way as router mode, so it will create a own Local network for all it's connected devices, that is separated from the Wifi-network that is providing internet, and then connect it's own network to the internet using NAT. You can then connect your devices to the internet either through the Ethernet port on the LB-Link, or by connecting to it's own Wifi-network. Repeater mode is actually quite similar to Router mode, with the difference that instead of connecting to the internet using a network cable, it will connect through an existing Wifi-network. In router mode (and in Repeater mode as well), the LB-Link implements most of the features seen in any home router, such as Port forwarding.
As it will connect the devices to the internet using NAT, or Network Address Translation, your devices will automatically be protected by a firewall. In router mode, it will create a Local network (LAN) for all your connected devices, so that you can share files just as you would on any home network. You connect the LB-Link to internet using an Ethernet-cable, and it will allow your devices to connect to the internet using Wifi. With the mode switch set to RT, the LB-Link will function as just a normal home router. The default IP-address of the web interface is printed on the bottom of the router. Now that you are connected and have been assigned an IP-address, you can log in to the web-interface at. In order to access the web-interface you have to set an IP-address manually. In AP mode all router functionality is turned off, so the LB-Link will not assign you an IP-address automatically. In Access point mode (AP), connect either using Wifi or using a network cable.You'll automatically get assigned an IP-address so that you can log in to the web-interface. In Repeater mode, connect either using Wifi or using a network cable.In Router mode (RT), connect to the LB-Link's unencrypted Wifi-network and you'll automatically get assigned an IP-address so that you can log in to the web-interface.Depending on what mode you have put it in, the methods for connecting differs a bit:
Included in the package is the LB-LINK BL-MP01 router itself, a flat ethernet cable, a mini-usb cable, an installation guide and a "gift bag".įirst connect the LB-Link to power using USB, then connect your computer to it. Featuring an ethernet port, a mini-USB port for power, and Wifi, it can be configured as either a router, an access point, a Wifi-client, or a repeater. The LB-LINK travel router is a small 4-in-one device that does not cost much either.
