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

Your ISP usually provides the IP address of the DNS server.

configure the TCP/IP parameters of each computer in your
