The Network option allows you to customize your local network manually by changing the default
settings of the AP.
Selecting Network will enable you to configure the IP parameters of Network on this page.

MAC Address - The physical address of the AP. The value can't be changed.
Type - Select Dynamic IP(DHCP) to get IP address from DHCP server or select Static IP to
configure IP address manually from the drop-down list.
IP Address - Enter the IP address of your AP in dotted-decimal notation (factory default
setting is 192.168.0.254).
Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use
255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
Gateway - The gateway should be in the same subnet as your IP address.
Note:
1. If you change the IP Address, you must use the new IP Address to log in the AP.
2. If the new LAN IP Address you set is not in the same subnet with the IP Address pool of DHCP
sever, the IP Address pool will not take effect until it is re-configured accordingly.
