Users may change the settings for IP Address, Subnet Mask, and DHCP Server.
Obtain IP Address Automatically
: If a DHCP server exists in your network, you can check this
option, thus the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Access Point is able to obtain IP settings automatically
from that DHCP server.
When the IP address of the Access Point is changed, the clients on the network often
need to wait for a while or even reboot before they can access the new IP address. For
an immediate access to the bridge, please flush the netbios cache on the client
computer by running the “nbtstat –r” command before using the device name of the
Access Point to access its Web Management page.
In case the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Access Point is unable to obtain an IP address
from a valid DHCP server, it will fall back to default static IP address.
Use Fixed IP Address
: Check this option. You have to specify a static IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway and DNS server for the Access Point manually. Make sure the specified IP
address is unique on your network in order to prevent IP conflict.
If the IEEE 802.11n Wireless Access Point configured as Router mode, you need to configure
some additional TCP/IP parameters for accessing the Internet.
