IP Address
The IP address of the AP on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address in the range
of IP addresses available for the LAN. For example: 192.168.1.100.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask of the local area network.
Gateway
The IP address of the router on the local area network.
Local Domain Name
This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. The AP's DHCP server will
give this domain name to the computers on the wireless LAN. So, for example, if you enter
mynetwork.net
here, and you have a wireless laptop with a name of
chris
, that laptop
will be known as
chris.mynetwork.net
. Note, however, if the AP's settings specify
"DHCP (Dynamic)" Address, and the router's DHCP server assigns a domain name to the AP,
that domain name will override any name you enter here.
DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you
configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices
on your local area network (LAN).
Enable DHCP Server
In most situations, the router provides DHCP services, and you can leave this option disabled.
However, if for any reason the router does not provide DHCP services, enable this option. The
AP's DHCP Server will then manage the IP addresses and other network configuration
information for wireless clients associated with the AP.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP
configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically".
When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed.
DHCP IP Address Range
These two IP values ( from and to ) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses
when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any
addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could,
therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain
network address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that
does reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP
Server knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.
Your Access Point, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.1.100. This means that
addresses 192.168.1.101 to 192.168.1.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP
Server.
