Server Setup.

Parameters

Description

DHCP Server IP

This is the IP address of the DHCP server.


DHCP Gateway IP


Though the DHCP server usually also acts as the
Default Gateway of the DHCP client, the access
point allows you to define a different Gateway IP

Address which will be allocated as the Default
Gateway IP of the DHCP client. The DHCP client
will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the
access point but will access to the Internet or the

other LAN through the Default Gateway defined
by the DHCP Gateway IP Address.

For instance if the access point in Access Point
Client mode connects to an Internet gateway

X

,

a PC wired to the access point will be unable to
obtain a dynamic IP address directly from

X

. But

if you enable the DHCP server of the access
point and set the IP address of

X

as the DHCP

Gateway IP Address, the PC will obtain its IP
address from the access point and access the
Internet through

X

.
