Use the drop-down menu to select Static IP if your

ISP assigned you the IP address, subnet mask,

gateway, and DNS server addresses. Select

Dynamic IP (DHCP) to automatically assign an

IP address to the computers on the LAN/private

network.

Enter the IP address of the access point. The default

IP address is 192.168.0.50. If you change the IP

address, once you click

, you will need to enter

the new IP address in your browser to get back into

the configuration utility.

Enter the Subnet Mask assigned by your ISP.

Enter the Gateway assigned by your ISP.

Enter the Device Name of the AP. It is recommended

to change the Device Name if there is more than

one D-Link device within the subnet.

Static IP

Select Static IP Address if all the Internet port’s IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in

the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address

entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Access

point will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format.

MAC Address Filter

The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses

of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network.

A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.

Configure MAC

Filtering:

Add MAC

Filtering Rule:

When “Turn MAC Filtering OFF” is selected,

MAC addresses are not used to control network

access. When “Turn MAC Filtering ON and

ALLOW computers listed to access the network”

is selected, only computers with MAC addresses

listed in the MAC Address List are granted network

access. When “Turn MAC Filtering ON and DENY

computers listed to access the network” is selected,

any computer with a MAC address listed in the MAC

Address List is refused access to the network.

This parameter allows you to manually add a MAC

filtering rule. Click the Add button to add the new

MAC filtering rule to the MAC Filtering Rules list at

the bottom of this screen.

IGMP Snooping:

Sets the transmit power of the antennas.

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.

100 is the default setting and is recommended.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default

setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients

of the next window for listening to broadcast and

multicast messages.

This value should remain at its default setting of

2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a

minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified

in bytes, determines whether packets will be

fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte

setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting.

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless

clients.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity. However, it is less reliable and may

create higher data loss.

This enables IGMP snooping for the wireless connection. We recommend enabling this if you often use multicast services

such as video conferencing and streaming audio/video.
