Get LAN IP From
Choose DHCP (Dynamic) if your router supports DHCP and you want the router to assign an IP address to the AP. In this case, you do not need to fill in the fields shown below. Choose Static IP (Manual) if your router does not support DHCP or if for any other reason you need to assign a fixed address to the AP. In this case, you must also configure the fields shown below.

So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a wireless laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be known as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, that if the AP’s settings specify DHCP (Dynamic) Address, and the router’s DHCP server assigns a domain name to the AP, that domain name will override any name you enter here.
