Parameters
Description
DHCP Gateway IP 
Address
Though usually, the DHCP server also acts as the Default 
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 
DNS servers 
Enable this checkbox if you want the access point to only use 
the DNS server(s) you have specified below. 
Primary
DNS
IP
Address
Your ISP usually provides the IP address of the DNS server.
Secondary DNS IP 
Address
This optional field is reserved for the IP address of a secondary 
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.
