Configure the Basic WiFi Settings

For proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your coverage area, you
must configure the 802.11bg/ng/bgn and 802.11a/a-na-ac settings correctly, including the

If you configure the access point from a WiFi computer and you
change the access point's SSID, channel, or WiFi security settings,
you lose your WiFi connection when you click the Apply button.
You then must change the WiFi settings of your computer to match
the access point's new settings.
Description
By default, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client is enabled.
The access point receives its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway
settings automatically from the DHCP server on your network when you connect
the access point to your LAN.
Enter the IP address of your access point. The default IP address is
192.168.0.100. To change the address, enter an unused IP address from the
address range used on your LAN, or enable DHCP the server.
Enter the network number portion of an IP address. Unless you are
implementing subnetting, enter 255.255.0.0 as the subnet mask.
Enter the IP address of the ISP gateway to which the access point connects.
Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your access point during login. If the ISP
does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it
manually in this field.
Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing
WiFi associations. Ensure that the default gateway is configured.
