Chapter 5 5. 1. Change the LAN Settings The AP device is preset to Obtain an IP address automatically, which allows the device to dynamically obtain an IP address and gateway from the main router/AP. You just need to enter http://tplinkap.net into the address bar to log into the web-based management page. It is recommended to keep the default LAN settings to avoid IP conflict with the main router/AP or other device on your local network. If it is necessary to change the LAN settings, for example, your network requires a specific IP subnet, please perform the following steps. 1. Visit http://tplinkap.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the AP device. 2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN page. 3. Select Use the following IP address option and type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs. 4. Leave the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway as it is. 5. Click Save. Note: After changing the IP address, you should enter the new IP address or use the domain name tplinkap.net to log into the web-based management page. 5. 2. Specify DHCP Server Settings By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is set to Auto. If the DHCP server of the host router/AP is disabled, the device's DHCP server will automatically assign valid IP addresses to clients. If the DHCP server of the host router/AP is enabled, the device's DHCP server will be unable to avoid IP conflict. You can switch On (enable) or Off (disable) the DHCP server. If Off is selected and there is no other DHCP server within your LAN, you have to configure the IP address for each client manually. 26
