If you select Static IP, enter an appropriate IP address and subnet mask that are

can assign IP addresses to any wireless station or Wi-Fi phone requesting the
service. Addresses are assigned from a common address pool configured on
the access point. You can configure the address pool by specifying start and
end IP addresses.
NAT is a standard method of mapping multiple "internal" IP addresses to one
"external" IP address on devices at the edge of a network. For the access point,
the internal (local) IP addresses are the IP addresses assigned to wireless
clients by the DHCP server, and the external IP address is the IP address
assigned to the access point itself. Note that the access point IP address is
always in a different subnet from the DHCP server pool. The access point uses
the NAT IP settings to route traffic from the wireless interface to the Ethernet
network.
Note: When using a wireless client to access the web management interface with the
DHCP server enabled, be sure to change your PC's IP settings to "Obtain an IP
address automatically" and then use the configured Gateway IP address (default:
192.168.2.1) in your web browser..

interfaces) using the same radio. These SSID interfaces, or Virtual Access
