The LAN page lets you set the device’s IP address. The device can be configured to use an
automatic (DHCP) address or a fixed IP address.

The default IP address is 192.168.0.10.

When the device is in Client mode, the LAN page also provides the MAC cloning option.
It is important that before you configure the
