Configure IP Settings and Optional DHCP Server Settings



Select Configuration > IP > IP Settings. The IP Settings screen displays:

Specify the fields as explained in the following table:

DHCP Client

By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is disabled. If 
you have a DHCP server on your LAN and you select the Enable check box, the 
wireless access point will receive its IP address, subnet mask, and default 
gateway settings automatically from the DHCP server on your network when you 
connect the wireless access point to your LAN.

IP Address

Enter the IP address of your wireless access point. The default IP address is 
192.168.0.100. To change the address, enter an unused IP address from the 
address range used on your LAN, or enable DHCP the server.

IP Subnet Mask

Enter the network number portion of an IP address. Unless you are 
implementing subnetting, enter 255.255.0.0 as the subnet mask.

Default Gateway

Enter the IP address of the ISP’s router to which the wireless access point will 
connect.

Primary DNS Server

 

 

Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers. 

 

A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as 
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP 
address of one or two DNS servers to your wireless access point during login. If 
the ISP does not transfer an address, you need to obtain it from the ISP and 
enter it manually in this field. 

Secondary DNS Server

Network Integrity Check

Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing 
wireless associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured.
