DescriptionSetting
By default, the DHCP client of the access point allows the access point to receive
an IP address from a DHCP server (or router that functions as a DHCP server) in
your network.
To set up the access point with a static (fixed) IP address, do the following:
a. Select the Disable radio button.
Additional fields display.
b. Specify the IP address, IP subnet mask, IP address of the default gateway,
and IP address of the DNS server.
DHCP Client
As an option, enter a new system name for the access point. The name must
contain alphanumeric characters, must contain at least one alphabetical character,
cannot be longer than 15 characters, and can contain hyphens but cannot start
or end with a hyphen.
By default, the system name is Netgearxxxxxx, in which xxxxxx represents the
last six hexadecimal digits of the access point’s MAC address.
AP Name
Enter a new admin password with a minimum of 6 characters and a maximum of
32 characters.
The ideal password contains no English dictionary words and contains uppercase
and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. However, do not include quotation
marks (") in the password.
Write down and save the password for future use.
The admin password is the password that you use to log in to
the access point’s local browser interface. It is not the password
that you use for WiFi access.

field.
