IP address assigned to the wireless adapter is within the same IP address range
as the access point and gateway. Since
the DAP-3520 has an IP address of 192.168.0.50, wireless adapters must have an IP address in the same range, e.g. 192.168.0.x.
Each device must have a unique IP address; there may be no two devices with the same IP address. The subnet mask must be the
same for all the computers on the network. To check the
IP address
assigned to the wireless adapter, double-click the
Local Area
Connection
icon in the taskbar, then select the
Support
tab and the IP address will be displayed.
