3. Your host laptop now serves as a simple router to provide Internet access.
• The selected LAN port on your host laptop has the IP address 192.168.0.1 and
serves as an Internet gateway.
• Your host laptop has a DHCP server that will provide an IP address to the Array.
The address will be in the 192.168.0.xxx subnetwork, with subnet mask
255.255.255.0.
• We recommend that you disable the Array’s DHCP server (see “Set up an open or
secure Wi-Fi network, with or without DHCP” on page 18 ). The host laptop’s
DHCP server will provide IP addresses to the Array’s wireless clients, using the
same 192.168.0.xxx subnetwork.
