Renewing or Releasing DHCP

This task should be performed only if you have access to the DHCP server or have some way to determine
what IP address has been assigned to the AP. It serves as a troubleshooting technique when IP addresses to one
or more networked devices prove to be unusable or in conflict with others, or when the AP loses its DHCP
assigned IP address for some reason.
To renew or release DHCP:
1.
Go to Status > Internet.
2.
Review the current settings.
3.
If the current Connection Type is DHCP, you will be able to see the currently assigned IP address and
subnet mask listed below.
4.
If the IP address is 192.168.0.1, the AP is not receiving an IP address from the DHCP server.
