NETGEAR ProSafe Dual Band Wireless Access Point WAG302v2 Reference Manual
The following list provides information about how to configure DHCP settings:
• Use AP as DHCP Server: Turn on this option to allow the wireless access point to function as
a DHCP Server for wireless clients. The WAG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP
configurations for wireless clients connected to this wireless access point. The default setting
is disable.
Note: The DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect to
the WAG302v2 through Security Profiles that are on the same VLAN as
Security Profile 1 on the 802.11b/g radio. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all
Security Profiles. If you typically use an existing DHCP server on your
network to assign network information to hosts, you do not need to enable the
DHCP server on the WAG302v2.
If you enable the WAG302v2 DHCP server, you must configure the following TCP/IP
configuration information that the wireless access point assigns to wireless clients that associate
with it:
• Starting IP Address: Enter the starting IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can
assign wireless clients.The default starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.
• Ending IP Address: Enter the Ending IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can
assign wireless clients. The default ending IP address is 192.168.0.50.
• Subnet Mask: Enter a subnet mask for the DHCP server on the Access Point to assign
wireless clients. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
• Gateway Address: Enter a Gateway Address for the DHCP server on the Access Point to
assign wireless clients. The wireless clients will use this IP address as the default gateway for
any traffic beyond the local network. By default, the gateway address is the IP address of the
WAG302v2.
• Primary DNS Server: Enter a Primary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the
Access Point to assign wireless clients. By default, the DNS server address is the IP address of
the WAG302v2. The WAG302v2 relays requests from wireless clients to the DNS server
configured on the Basic Settings page.
• Secondary DNS Server: Enter a Secondary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on
the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.
