Chapter 4 AP Mode Table 24 Network > LAN > IP LABEL Get form DHCP Server User Defined LAN IP IP Address IP Subnet Mask Gateway IP Address Apply Reset DESCRIPTION Select this option to allow the NBG334W to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. You must connect the WAN port to a device with a DHCP server enabled (such as a router or gateway). Without a DHCP server the NBG334W will have no IP address. You need to find out the IP address the DHCP server assigns to the NBG334W and use that address to log in to the NBG334W again. Select this option to set the NBG334W's IP address. This setting is selected by default. Check the IP address is on the same domain as other devices on your network. Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.1. If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG334W will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed by the NBG334W. Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your NBG334W that will forward the packet to the destination. In AP Mode, the gateway must be a router on the same segment as your NBG334W. Click Apply to save your changes to the NBG334W. Click Reset to reload the previous configuration for this screen. 4.4.2 WLAN and Maintenance Settings The configuration of wireless and maintenance settings in AP Mode is the same as for Router Mode. • See Chapter 5 on page 69 for information on the configuring your wireless network. • See Maintenance and Troubleshooting (171) for information on the configuring your Maintenance settings. 4.5 Logging in to the Web Configurator in AP Mode 1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the NBG334W. 2 The default IP address if the NBG334W is "192.168.1.1". In this case, your computer must have an IP address in the range between "192.168.1.2" and "192.168.1.255". 3 Click Start > Run on your computer in Windows. 4 Type "cmd" in the dialog box. 5 Type "ipconfig" to show your computer's IP address. If your computer's IP address is not in the correct range then see Appendix D on page 231 for information on changing your computer's IP address. 6 After you've set your computer's IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type "192.168.1.1" as the web address in your web browser.

DHCP Server
Select this option to allow the NBG334W to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server on the network. You must connect the WAN port to a device with a DHCP
server enabled (such as a router or gateway). Without a DHCP server the NBG334W
will have no IP address. You need to find out the IP address the DHCP server
assigns to the NBG334W and use that address to log in to the NBG334W again.
User Defined
LAN IP
Select this option to set the NBG334W’s IP address. This setting is selected by
default. Check the IP address is on the same domain as other devices on your
network.
IP Address
Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.1. If
you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.
IP Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
NBG334W will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that
you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed
by the NBG334W.
Gateway IP
Address
Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your
NBG334W that will forward the packet to the destination. In
AP Mode
, the gateway
must be a router on the same segment as your NBG334W.
