Add a DHCP server for a WiFi network

The information in this section applies only when the system mode of the access point
is Router mode (see Change the system mode to Router mode or AP mode on page
162). If it is, the default DHCP server of the access point is enabled and you can also add
up to seven additional DHCP servers for WiFi clients only.
IMPORTANT: You can add an additional DHCP server only after you set up a WiFi
network with a unique VLAN ID that is not yet serviced by an existing DHCP server (see
Set up an open or secure WiFi network on page 45).
To add a DHCP server:
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 41.
