Step 4
Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or the LAN IP address
on your access point.
Example: If the access point´s LAN IP address is 19.168.0.1, make your IP address
19.168.0.X where X is a number between and 99. Make sure that the number you
choose is not in use on the network. Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address
of your access point (19.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your access point (19.168.0.1). The
Secondary DNS is not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
