For proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your coverage area, you

including the operating channel and country. You also must configure the basic wireless
network settings for wireless devices to connect to your network. For other wireless features,
including wireless security, see Chapter 3, Wireless Configuration and Security.
WARNING:
If you configure the wireless access point from a wireless computer
and you change the wireless access point’s SSID, channel, or
wireless security settings, you lose your wireless connection when
you click the Apply button. You then must change the wireless
settings of your computer to match the wireless access point’s new
settings.
IP Subnet Mask Enter the network number portion of an IP address. Unless you are
implementing subnetting, enter 255.255.0.0 as the subnet mask.
Default Gateway Enter the IP address of the ISP gateway to which the wireless access point
connects.
Primary DNS Server Enter the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS servers.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as
www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP
address of one or two DNS servers to your wireless access point during login. If
the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter
it manually in this field.
Secondary DNS Server
Network Integrity Check Select this check box to validate that the upstream link is active before allowing
