DHCP Reservation
On the PC check for DHCP or Address reservation. You should have something like
this.
Click
Add New
or whatever the router displays and enter the required details. The
MAC
address you noted down on page 7
will be required, as will the IP address of the
ComWiFi

.
Manually Assigning an IP Address
(Outside DHCP pool)
With this method you will be assigning an address to the
ComWiFi
which is outside of
the DHCP pool. IP address ranges go from 1-254. In the example in the previous
section we can see that the IP address range on the router starts at 192.168.0.50 and
ends at 192.168.0.199.
We now have the option of assigning an address between 2-49 or 200-254.
On the WiFi enabled device where you accessed the
ComWiFi
do the following.
•
Click on the
STA
Setting tab on the left side of the screen.
•
Ensure Obtain an IP Address Automatically is
Disabled
.
•
Under the
'Network Name
' click on
Scan
and then select the Wi-Fi network. This
is the name of the wireless router (SSID) that is connected to the internet.
•
Enter the router password if required.
•
Enter the chosen IP address for example 192.168.0.25
•
Enter the subnet mask (usually 255.255.255.0) but can be found on the router.
•
Enter the Gateway IP address (the router)
•
Enter the DNS Server details (usually same as the router)
•
Click
Save.
•
When prompted
Restart
the device.
•
Re-scan for wireless networks on the WiFi device and connect to the WiFi router.
