default IP address. Log in to the device using the default IP address
(192.168.0.1) and click on Renew DHCP to request a new lease from the DHCP
server.

Static IP
There are at least two instances when you would want to configure a static IP address
for the Access Point:
If the current IP address that the Access Point is using consistently conflicts with
■
that of another device on the network.
If you want to switch from DHCP to static IP addressing, for use in managing or
■
maintaining the Access Point.
Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP/Auto Config-
uration server to the Access Point, it may prove helpful for anyone needing adminis-
trative access to assign a static IP address.
To assign a static IP address to the AP
1. Go to Configuration > Internet. The Configuration > Internet page appears.
2. You can configure static addresses for IPv4, IPv6 or both. The AP will maintain both
sets of IP address settings if both are configured.
3. In IPv4 Connection Type or IPv6 Connection Type, select Static IP.
4. When the Internet Connection Settings options appear, you can make changes to
the following settings:
• Primary DNS Server: The IP address of the primary Domain Name System
(DNS) server.
• Secondary DNS Server: The IP address of the secondary Domain Name
System (DNS) server.
• IPv4/IPv6 Address: Enter the static IP address that you want to assign to the
AP in either IPv4 (dot-decimal) or IPv6 (colon-separated) format.
• Subnet Mask (IPv4)/Prefix Length (IPv6): Enter the subnet mask or prefix
length for the network.
• Gateway: Enter the gateway IP address of the Internet interface.
