The Internet Setup page displays.
5. Select the No radio button.
This is the default setting.
6. If your Internet connection requires an account name (sometimes referred to as a
host name), enter it in the Account Name field.
The account name is the same as the device name, which, by default, is WAX204.
7. If your Internet connection requires a domain name, enter it in the Domain Name
(if Required) field.
For the other sections on this page, the default settings usually work, but you can
change them.
8. Select an Internet IP Address radio button:
• Get Dynamically. Your ISP uses DHCP to automatically assign an IP address and
related settings to the AP.
• Use Static IP Address. Enter the static IP address, IP subnet mask, and gateway
IP address that your ISP assigned to the AP. The gateway is the ISP router to which
the AP connects.
9. Select a Domain Name Server (DNS) Address radio button:
• Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign DNS servers to the
AP.
• Use These DNS Servers. If you know that your ISP requires specific servers, select
this option. Enter the IP address of your ISP's primary DNS server. If a secondary
DNS server address is available, enter it also.
10. Select a Router MAC Address radio button:
A MAC address is a unique 12-digit hexadecimal number that identifies each network
device. A device's MAC address always stays the same. It does not change the way
an IP address can.
• Use Default Address. Use the default AP MAC address that displays on the
Dashboard page and is on the AP label.
• Use Computer MAC Address. The AP captures and uses the MAC address of
the computer that you are now using to change the settings. Sometimes an ISP
allows the MAC address of a particular computer only.
• Use This MAC Address. Enter a MAC address that must be used. Sometimes an
ISP allows the MAC address of a particular computer only.
11. If your ISP gave you a vendor class identifier (VCI) string, enter it in the Vendor Class
Identifier String (option 60) field.
