7. From the Addressing and Traffic menu, select the addressing and traffic mode:
• Bridge: The WiFi clients receive their IP addresses from the DHCP server in the
same network as the access point. This is the default mode.
• NAT: WiFi clients receive their IP addresses from a private DHCP address pool
on the access point. If you select this mode, by default, the WLAN network address
is 172.31.0.0. This means that WiFi clients are assigned an IP address in the range
from 172.31.0.2 to 172.31.3.254. The IP address of the default DNS server for
the WLAN is 8.8.8.8. To change the default range for the DHCP address pool,
the default DNS server, or both, do the following:
a. In the Network Address field, enter a network address that is different from
the network address for the access point. For example, if the access point's
IP address is in the range from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 (a common IP
address range), enter a network address that is different from 192.168.0.0.
b. In the DNS field, enter the IP address for the DNS server that you want to use.
This IP address must be different from the WLAN network address that you
set in the previous step.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Enable or disable client isolation for a WiFi
network
By default, client isolation is disabled for a WiFi network (SSID or VAP), allowing
communication between WiFi clients that are associated with the same or different WiFi
networks on the access point. For additional security, you can enable client isolation so
that clients that are associated with the same or different WiFi networks cannot
communicate with each other, except for communication over the Internet, which remains
possible.
Client isolation is not compatible with Multi PSK. To enable client isolation, first disable
Multi PSK (see Set up Multi PSK for a WiFi network on page 76).
