The following list provides information about how to configure DHCP settings:
• Use AP as DHCP Server: Turn on this option to allow the wireless access point to function as
a DHCP Server for wireless clients. The WG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP
configurations for wireless clients connected to this wireless access point. The default setting
is disable.
If you enable the WG302v2 DHCP server, you must configure the following TCP/IP configuration
information that the wireless access point assigns to wireless clients that associate with it:
• Starting IP Address: Enter the starting IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can
assign wireless clients.The default starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.
• Ending IP Address: Enter the Ending IP address the DHCP server on this Access Point can
assign wireless clients. The default ending IP address is 192.168.0.50.
• Subnet Mask: Enter a subnet mask for the DHCP server on the Access Point to assign
wireless clients. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
• Gateway Address: Enter a Gateway Address for the DHCP server on the Access Point to
assign wireless clients. The wireless clients will use this IP address as the default gateway for
any traffic beyond the local network. By default, the gateway address is the IP address of the
WG302v2.
• Primary DNS Server: Enter a Primary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the
Access Point to assign wireless clients. By default, the DNS server address is the IP address of
the WG302v2. The WG302v2 relays requests from wireless clients to the DNS server
configured on the Basic Settings page.
• Secondary DNS Server: Enter a Secondary DNS Server IP address for the DHCP server on
the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.
• Primary WINS Server: Enter a Primary WINS Server IP address for the DHCP server on the
Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.
• Secondary WINS Server: Enter a Secondary WINS Server IP address for the DHCP server
on the Access Point to assign wireless clients. There is no default server.
Note: The DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect to
the WG302v2 through Security Profiles that are on the same VLAN as
Security Profile 1. VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all Security Profiles. If
you typically use an existing DHCP server on your network to assign network
information to hosts, you do not need to enable the DHCP server on the
WG302v2.
