server (for example, your ISP or router). Users connected to the WAP3205 v2 can now

with Internet access).

 

The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address

 

assigned by the DHCP server to the WAP3205 v2. Otherwise, you need to reset the

110 for details on how to reset the WAP3205 v2).

 

Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your WAP3205 v2 in the
