System Information (Gateway Mode)

•

Bridge Mode

– An access point mode that extends a wired LAN to wireless clients.

•

Gateway Mode

– A gateway mode that connects a wired LAN and wireless clients

to an Internet access device, such as a cable or DSL modem. This is the factory

set default mode.

Internet Settings

The Internet Settings pages allow you to manage basic system configuration

settings.

Note:

In Bridge mode, the wireless AP/Router’s Internet Settings options are

significantly reduced.

WAN Setting

Specifies the Internet connection parameters. Click on “Internet Settings” followed

by “WAN”.

WAN Connection Type

—

By default, the access point WAN port is configured

with DHCP enabled. After you have network access to the access point, you can

use the web browser interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed. The

options are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE (ADSL), L2TP, and PPTP. Each option

changes the parameters displayed below it. (Default: DHCP).

Internet Settings

DHCP

Enables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for the WAN port. This

setting allows the wireless AP/Router to automatically obtain an IP address from a

DHCP server normally operated by the Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Figure 5-4.

WAN Setting - DHCP

•

Hostname (Optional)

– The hostname of the DHCP client.

•

MAC Clone Mode

– Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC

address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address

of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address

provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address

manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with

the registered MAC address to the wireless AP/Router, then click the “Fill My MAC”

(Default: Disable)

Note:

If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by your ISP, call

your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your account. Register

the default MAC address of the wireless AP/Router.

Static IP

Configures a static IP for the WAN port.

Figure 5-5.

WAN Setting - Static IP

•

IP Address

– The IP address of the wireless AP/Router. Valid IP addresses

consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.

•

Subnet Mask

– The mask that identifies the host address bits used for routing to

specific subnets.

•

Default Gateway

– The IP address of the gateway router for the wireless AP/

Router, which is used if the requested destination address is not on the local

subnet.

•

Primary DNS Server

– The IP address of the Primary Domain Name Server on

the network. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be

used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP addresses. If you

have one or more DNS servers located on the local network, type the IP addresses

in the text fields provided. Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).

•

Secondary DNS Server

– The IP address of the Secondary Domain Name Server

on the network.

•

MAC Clone Mode

– Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC

address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC address

of the wireless AP/Router's WAN interface to match the PC's MAC address

provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the registered MAC address

manually by typing it in the boxes provided. Otherwise, connect only the PC with

the registered MAC address to the wireless AP/Router, then click the “Fill My MAC”

(Default: Disable)
