AP IP
Access Point IP address. This will be the address of the router on the hotspot network. The
router will automatically create a network according to its own IP and the CIDR number
that you specify after the slash. E.g. “192.168.2.254/24” means that the router will create
a network with the IP address 192.168.182.0, netmask 255.255.255.0 for the express
purpose of containing all the wireless clients. Such a network will be able to have 253
clients (their IP addresses will be automatically granted to them and will range from
192.168.2.1 to 192.168.2.253).
Authentication mode: External radius

Radius server #1
