Description

 

DHCP

Gateway

IP

 

Though usually, the DHCP server also acts as the Default

 

Address

 

 

Gateway of the DHCP client, the access point gives you the

 

 

 

 

 

option to define a different Gateway IP Address, which will be

 

 

 

 

 

allocated as the Default Gateway IP of the DHCP client. The

 

 

 

 

 

DHCP client will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the

 

 

 

 

 

access point but will access to the Internet or to the other LAN

 

 

 

 

 

through the Default Gateway defined by the DHCP Gateway IP

 

 

 

 

 

Address.

 

 

 

 

 

For instance, if the access point is used in Access Point Client

 

 

 

 

 

mode and connects to an Internet gateway, X, a PC wired to

 

 

 

 

 

the access point will be unable to obtain a dynamic IP address

 

 

 

 

 

directly from X. But if you can enable the DHCP server of the

 

 

 

 

 

access point and set the IP address of X as the DHCP Gateway IP

 

 

 

 

 

Address, the PC will then obtain its IP address from the access

 

 

 

 

 

point and access the Internet through X.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Always

use these

 

Enable this checkbox if you want the access point to only use

 

DNS servers

 

 

the DNS server(s) you have specified below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Primary

DNS

IP

 

Your ISP usually provides the IP address of the DNS server.

 

Address

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Secondary DNS

IP

 

This optional field is reserved for the IP address of a secondary

 

Address

 

 

DNS server.

 

 

 

 

 

 

DHCP Server

 

 

If you disable the DHCP server, you will need to manually

 

 

 

 

 

configure the TCP/IP parameters of each computer in your

 

 

 

 

 

network.
