Extender IP Address Setup

From the Extender menu at http://www.mywifiext.net, under the Maintenance heading, select IP Address.

The IP Address screen shows whether the Extender is set to get its IP address dynamically from the router (this is the most common setting), or is set as a static IP address.

Get Dynamically From Router. The wireless network router assigns an IP address when the Extender connects to its wireless network. Most networks are set up so that the router automatically does this.

Use Static IP Address. Specify a static IP address. This is not usually necessary. If you set this up, you should be technically experienced or have a technically experienced person help you.
