Configuring the Access Point
Configuring Internet Settings
2. Review the current settings.
3. If the current Connection Type is DHCP, you will be able to see the currently-
assigned IP address and subnet mask listed below.
• To force the AP to release its DHCP-assigned IP address, click Release DHCP.
This will disconnect the user from Web interface as the system reverts to its
default IP address. Log in to the device using the default IP address
(192.168.0.1) and click on Renew DHCP to request a new lease from the DHCP
server.
• Click Renew DHCP to request a new IP address lease from the DHCP server.
Note: The IP address may or may not change depending on the lease time
offered to this device.
4. Click Update Settings to save your settings.
Static IP
There are at least two instances when you would want to configure a static IP address
for the Access Point:
■ If the current IP address that the Access Point is using consistently conflicts with
that of another device on the network.
■ If you want to switch from DHCP to static IP addressing, for use in managing or
maintaining the Access Point.
Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP/Auto Config-
uration server to the Access Point, it may prove helpful for anyone needing adminis-
trative access to assign a static IP address.
To assign a static IP address to the AP
1. Go to Configuration > Internet. The Configuration > Internet page appears.
2. You can configure static addresses for IPv4, IPv6 or both. The AP will maintain both
sets of IP address settings if both are configured.
3. In IPv4 Connection Type or IPv6 Connection Type, select Static IP.
4. When the Internet Connection Settings options appear, you can make changes to
the following settings:
• Primary DNS Server: The IP address of the primary Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
• Secondary DNS Server: The IP address of the secondary Domain Name
System (DNS) server.
•IPv4/IPv6 Address: Enter the static IP address that you want to assign to the
AP in either IPv4 (dot-decimal) or IPv6 (colon-separated) format.
• Subnet Mask (IPv4)/Prefix Length (IPv6): Enter the subnet mask or prefix
length for the network.
• Gateway: Enter the gateway IP address of the Internet interface.
5. Click Update Settings to save your changes.
