the modem (that is, the other device):

device is using.

is using.

10. To change the device name of the AP, enter a new name in the Device Name field.
By default, the device name is the AP model (WAX204). If you use two WAX204 APs
and you want to distinguish the names, you could, for example, change the name
to WiFi bridge or something similar.
11. To let the AP that functions as the WiFi bridge get an IP address and DNS addresses
dynamically from the other WAX204 AP, WiFi router, or AP that is connected to the
modem, leave the Get IP Address Dynamically and Get DNS Server Address
Dynamically check boxes selected.
We recommend that you leave the Get IP Address Dynamically and Get DNS
Server Address Dynamically check boxes selected. However, if you are sure that
you must use a static IP address, use an IP address from the LAN IP address pool of
