• The IP Address Source
The wireless access point is shipped preconfigured to use a private IP address on the LAN
side, and to act as a DHCP client. If the wireless access point does not find a DHCP server on
the Ethernet LAN, it defaults to this IP configuration:
– DHCP Client - Enable
– IP Address — 192.168.0.227
– IP Subnet Mask — 255.255.255.0
– Gateway — 0.0.0.0
If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those
changes in this page.
• Spanning Tree Protocol
Spanning Tree Protocol in enabled by default for the wireless access point. This provides
network traffic optimization in settings with multiple WG602v3 Access Points.
