D-Link 700AP manual Home LAN, IP Address

Using the Configuration Utility (continued)

Home > LAN

Dynamic IP Address: Select this option if you would like to have an IP address automatically assigned to the DWL-700AP by a DHCP server in your network.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assign- ing dynamic IP addresses “automatically.” With a DHCP Server there is no need to manually assign an IP address.

Static IP Address: Select this option if you are manually assigning an IP address.

IP Address: 192.168.0.50 is the default IP address of the access point.

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0 is the default subnet mask. All devices on the network must have the same subnet mask to communicate on the network.

Gateway: Enter the IP address of the gateway in your network.

IP Address

If you need to assign static IP addresses to the devices in your network, please remember that the IP address for each computer or device must be in the same IP address range as all the devices in the network. Each device must also have the same subnet mask. For example: Assign the first computer an IP address of 192.168.0.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the second device an IP ad- dress of 192.168.0.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and so on. Devices that are assigned the same IP address may not be visible on the network.
