## Operating roles
40
+
41
+
Depending on the device's placement, it will be configured as either an 'Access Point' (AP) acting as the central device or a 'Station' connecting as a client. An AP can have multiple stations connected to it, whereas a station will only connect to a single AP.
42
+
43
+
For stations in particular, they can operate in either a 'Bridge' or 'Router' role:
44
+
45
+
- In 'Bridge' mode, which is the default and most common configuration, the airOS device simply bridges the wireless and Ethernet connections. In simplistic terms, it functions as a transparent network cable, making it invisible to the devices on both the station and AP sides.
46
+
47
+
- In 'Router' mode, the airOS device acts as a small router, performing Network Address Translation (NAT) as well as providing DHCP services for devices connected to its LAN port. The airOS device in this mode can also operate as a PPPoE client, authenticating with a central PPPoE server to receive its IP address, gateway, and other network settings.
