IP addresses will be assigned, from a "pool" for a "lease" time, and can change from
device day to day; for example when you leave your home and lose WiFi connection
there is no guarantee when you return that you will be given the same address, it may
be in use by something else.
If you allow the wireless router to automatically assign an IP address to the
ComWiFi
you may encounter problems with IP conflicts if:
•
Another device on the network has ever used the address (and could do
so again)
•
The
ComWiFi
is off line and another device is given the address by the
router
To overcome these potential issues it is advised that the IP address is either reserved
for the
ComWiFi
, or the IP address used for the
ComWiFi
is outside of the DHCP
Pool.
Accessing the Router
On a PC open the web browser and type the router's IP address into the address bar
as shown and press enter. Values used are typical only; they may or may not be the
same as the router.
When prompted enter the router user name & password and press Enter.
Once you have access to the router you are looking for DHCP Settings. The example
shown may or may not be the same as the router. You will see a Start & End IP
address, this is the DHCP pool or the range of addresses used by the router when
assigning and address automatically.
