WG302v1 and WAG302v1 DHCP server works - v2

Page 3 highlights

Wireless clients connect to the WG302v2/WAG302v2 will receive one of the addresses from the DHCP pool. However, DNS Server address assigned to the wireless client will always be the same address as the default gateway address. It was because the WG302v2/WAG302v2 uses DNS proxying. The wireless client's DNS requests are sendt to the access point then proxy to the designated DNS Server specified in the DHCP setting. This is specific for v2 of WG302 and WAG302. WG302v1 and WAG302v1 DHCP server works differently. Refer to the reference manuals of WG302v1 and WAG302v1 on how to setup DHCP server on those access points.
