Change the format of the DHCP offer
messages that the access point forwards
When a device tries to associate with the WiFi network and negotiates an IP address,
the access point converts the broadcast DHCP offer message that it receives from the
DHCP server to a unicast message, and forwards it to the device. This is the default
configuration. For the DHCP message exchange, unicast packets are more reliable and
minimize the traffic in the network. However, if your situation requires that DHCP offer
messages must be distributed as broadcast packets, you can change the format so that
the access point does not convert the broadcast DHCP offer messages to unicast
messages.
To change the format of the DHCP offer messages that the access point forwards:
1. Open a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as the
access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window opens.
If your browser does not open the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 37.
