 WiFi Booster for Mobile WN1000RP

Booster IP Address Setup

The IP Address Setup screen shows whether the booster is set to get its IP address 
dynamically from the router (this is the most common setting), or is set up with a static IP 
address.

To view or change the IP address settings:

Select 

Setup > IP Address Settings

. 

The following information is displayed:

•

Get Dynamically IP Address From Router

. The wireless network router assigns an 

IP address when the booster connects to its wireless network. Most networks are set 
up so that the router does this automatically.

•

Use Static IP Address

. Specify a static IP address. This is not usually necessary. If 

you set this up, you should be technically experienced or have a technically 
experienced person help you.

-     

IP Address

. The static IP address.

-     

IP Subnet Mask

. The subnet mask associated with the IP address.

-     

Gateway IP Address

. The IP address for the gateway.

-     

Primary DNS

. The primary Domain Name Server (DNS).

-     

Secondary DNS

. The secondary Domain Name Server (DNS).
