Enter the IP Address of your wireless access point.The default IP address is 192.168.0.236. To change it, enter an unused IP address from the address range used on your LAN; or enable DHCP. • IP Subnet Mask. The Access Point will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Otherwise, you can use 255.255.255.0 (the default) as the subnet mask. • Default Gateway. Enter the IP address of the gateway for your LAN. For more complex networks, enter the address of the router for the network segment to which the wireless access point is connected. The default is 0.0.0.0. • Primary DNS Servers. The access point will use this IP address as the primary Domain Name Server used by stations on your LAN.

To reconnect, reconfigure your computer with a static IP address within the new LAN IP subnet. By default, the access point is set with the DHCP client disabled. If your network uses dynamic IP addresses, you must change this setting (see "Logging In to the Access Point" on page 2-14), Configuring Your Wireless Settings The following sections describe how to configure the wireless settings for 802.11b/g/n operation.
