Using another DHCP Server

You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another
DHCP Server, rather than the Wireless Router's, the following procedure is required.
• Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This setting is on the

LAN screen.

• Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IP Address as the

Default Gateway.

To Configure your PCs to use DHCP

This is the default setting for TCP/IP for all non-Server versions of Windows.

See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

Router

In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all
your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an
IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.

Access
Point

The device links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The
Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the
same network, and can communicate with each other without regard
for whether they are connected to the network via a Wireless or wired
connection.
You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP ad-
dresses to the Wireless clients using this Access Point.

Notes:
• Generally, you should NOT use access point mode. Only select this mode if you

are sure this is what you want.

• After changing the mode, this device will restart, which will take a few seconds.

The menu will also be changed, depending on the mode you are in.

• For details on using Access Point Mode, see Chapter 8.
