6.2 Changing the LAN IP address of the AP
6.2.1 Dynamic IP address
This IP address type enables your AP to obtain an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway IP
address, DNS server IP addresses from a DHCP server automatically. If a large number of APs
are deployed, you are recommended to adopt this type to prevent IP address conflicts and
reduce your workload.
Procedure:
1. To access the configuration page, click Network Settings > LAN Setup.
2. Set IP Address Type to DHCP.
3. Click Save.
---End
After the configuration, if you want to log in to the web UI of your AP, first find the IP
address of the AP from the client list of the DHCP server, then ensure that the IP address of
your computer and the IP address of the AP belong to the same network segment, finally log
in to the web UI of your AP using its new IP address.
Note
If the IP address of your computer is not in the same network segment as the new IP address
of your AP, please set an IP address for your computer which is in the same network segment
as the AP’s new IP address. For detailed steps to set an IP address for your computer, refer to
A.1 Configuring a static IP address for your computer (Example: Win7) in this user guide.
6.2.2 Static IP address
If you want to set AP’s IP address yourself, set IP Address Type to Static IP Address first, then
configure IP address, subnet mask, gateway IP address, and DNS server IP addresses for your
AP manually. This type is recommended only when you need to deploy just a few APs.
