Scroll down and select the radio button for the IP address setting that you want to use:
Get dynamically from existing router. The other router on the network assigns an 
IP address to this router while this router is in AP mode.
Enable fixed IP settings on this device (not recommended). Use this setting if you 
want to manually assign a specific IP address to this router while it is in AP mode. 
Using this option effectively requires advanced network experience.
Note:
To avoid interference with other routers or gateways in your network, 
NETGEAR recommends that you use different wireless settings on 
each router. You can also turn off the wireless radio on the other router 
or gateway and use the DC112A only for wireless client access.

Click the Apply button.
