V. APPENDIX V-1. Configuring your IP address Before you use the wireless extender, please make sure your computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This means your computer can obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. This is a simple procedure, which is explained step by step in V-1-1. How to configure your computer to use a dynamic IP address. Static IP users, please make a note of your static IP before you change it or switch to a dynamic IP address. Unfortunately, not all networks support DHCP capability. In this case, you need to use a static IP address for the wireless extender and your PC or Macintosh. The wireless extender uses the default IP address 192.168.10.1, which may not be in the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you are unable to access the browser based configuration interface. So, you need to modify the IP address of your PC or Macintosh to 192.168.10.x (x = 2 - 254) in order to access the browser-based configuration interface. The procedure for doing so varies across different operating systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your PC or Macintosh. Note: For guidance on how to assign a new IP address to the wireless extender, so that it is within the same IP address subnet of your network, please refer to III-6. System Utility. In cases where you need to modify the IP of your PC or Macintosh in order to access the browser based configuration interface, if the default IP of the wireless extender remains unchanged, you may need to repeat this process and modify the IP of your PC or Macintosh every time you wish to configure the wireless extender.

APPENDIX
V-1.
Configuring your IP address
Before you use the wireless extender, please make sure your computer is set
to use a
dynamic IP address
. This means your computer can obtain an IP
address automatically from a DHCP server. This is a simple procedure, which is
explained step by step in
V-1-1. How to configure your computer to use a
dynamic IP address
.
Static IP users, please make a note of your static IP before you
change it or switch to a dynamic IP address.
Unfortunately, not all networks support DHCP capability. In this case, you need
to use a static IP address for the wireless extender and your PC or Macintosh.
The wireless extender uses the default IP address
192.168.10.1
, which may
not be in the same IP address subnet of your network; meaning you are
unable to access the browser based configuration interface. So, you need to
modify the IP address of your PC or Macintosh to
192.168.10.x (x = 2
–
254)
in
order to access the browser-based configuration interface.
The procedure for doing so varies across different operating systems; please
follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in
IV-1-2. How to
modify the IP address of your PC or Macintosh
.
Note:
For guidance on how to assign a new IP address to
the wireless extender, so that it is within the same IP
address subnet of your network, please refer to
III-6.
System Utility.
In cases where you need to modify the IP
of your PC or Macintosh in order to access the browser
based configuration interface, if the default IP of the
wireless extender remains unchanged, you may need to
repeat this process and modify the IP of your PC or
Macintosh every time you wish to configure the wireless
extender.
