Figure 4-7 LAN – Static IP 
¾
 
MAC Address - The physical address of the LAN port, as seen from the LAN. The value 
cannot be changed.   
¾
 
Type - Several IP types are supported, including: (1) Dynamic IP; (2) Static IP, and they are 
explained below.   
z
 
Dynamic IP - In this type, if your range extender have connected to a router, your client 
will dynamically get a IP Address/Gateway from the router, otherwise the client will get a 
IP Address/Gateway in the same network as you set below. And this type is 
recommended.  
z
 
Static IP - In this type, you can configure IP Address/Gateway manually.   
¾
 
IP Address - Enter the IP address of your Range Extender in dotted-decimal notation (factory 
default setting is 192.168.0.254). 
¾
 
Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use 
255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.   
¾
 
Gateway The gateway should be in the same subnet as your IP address.

Note: 
1.  The IP parameters cannot be configured if you have chosen Dynamic IP. In this situation the 
device will automatically configure the IP parameters appropriate to your need. 
2.  If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep 
the provided default values, otherwise may result in lower wireless network performance or 
even can't work.   
3.  If you choose Static IP, the domain name log in function won't work, and you have to use the 
IP you set to log in the Range Extender's web based utility. 
4.4.2  DHCP Settings 
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically 
assign dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the network. This protocol simplifies network 
management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the 
need to manually assign new IP addresses. 
Selecting  Network  >  DHCP Settings will enable you to set up the Range Extender as a DHCP 
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the 
PCs that are connected to the system on the LAN. The DHCP Server can be configured on the page 
(shown as Figure 4-9), only when you’ve set the Network LAN type as Static IP in Figure 4-7.
