• The modem router and other access points operate in the same LAN network address
range as the LAN devices.
• Only one access point, your modem router in Figure 15 on page 103, is set up as the
base station. The others are set up as repeaters.
• All access points, including your modem router, are on the same LAN. That is, all the
access point LAN IP addresses are in the same network.
• If you are using DHCP, all access points should be set as DHCP clients. This setting
is Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client) in the Basic Settings screen.
• All access points, including your modem router, use the same SSID, channel,
authentication mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in use.
5. Verify connectivity across the LANs.
A computer on any LAN segment should be able to connect to the Internet or share files
and printers with any other computers or servers connected to any of the three LAN
segments.
