All devices in the network must have the same subnet mask to communicate. Enter the submask for the network here.

The DHCP address pool defines the range of the IP address that

can be assigned to stations in the network. A Dynamic Pool allows

wireless stations to receive an available IP with lease time control.

IP Assigned From:

Specify the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) server address for the wireless network. WINS is a system that

determines the IP address of a network computer that has a dynamically assigned IP address.

Enter the IP address of the gateway on the network.

Enter the IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) server. The DNS server translates domain names such as

www.dlink.com into IP addresses.

Use the Static Pool Settings to assign the same IP address to a device every time you start up. The IP addresses assigned

in the Static Pool list must NOT be in the same IP range as the Dynamic Pool. After you have assigned a static IP address

to a device via its MAC address, click

Save

; the device will appear in the Assigned Static Pool at the bottom of the window.
