DEVICE IP SETTINGS
The Device IP setting screen allows you to configure the IP address and subnet of the AP
on the LAN. Although you can rely on a DHCP server to assign an IP address to the 802.11G
ACCESS POINT automatically, it is recommended that you configure a static IP address
manually in most applications.
If you choose to assign the IP address manually, check the button that says “Assign static IP
to this device” and then fill in the following fields
IP Address and IP Subnet Mask: These values default to 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0,
respectively. It is important to note that similar addresses fall within the standard private IP
address range and it is an essential security feature of the device. Because of this private IP
address, this device can no longer be accessed (seen) from the Internet.
Gateway IP Address: Enter the IP address of your default gateway
