4-2 AP Setup
IP Address
The settings for IP Address Setup of the Wireless Access Point can be viewed and changed
here.
Access Point Name: In this field, you may assign any name to the Access Point. This will
enable you to manage your Access Point more easily if you have multiple Access Points on
the network. Besides, Access Point Name can be used to prevent you from forgetting an IP
Address and fail to access the website. Try to type the nickname you like to identify the
website, then press the button of “Apply” to reboot. Whenever you want to get back to the
website again, just type the name you login.
DHCP: The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP
addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is Disable. The
DHCP client can be enabled if you would like the Access Point to obtain the IP address from
the DHCP server on your network automatically.
IP Address: You may change this IP Address but it must be unique to your network. The
default IP address is “192.168.1.1”. To change the IP Address, type in the new IP address and
click “Apply”.
IP Subnet Mask: The 802.11g SMB Wireless Access Point’s Subnet Mask must be the same
as your Ethernet network. We recommended that you do NOT change the subnet Mask. The
default setting is “255.255.255.0”.
