DESCRIPTION
Get from DHCP
Server
Click this to deploy the NBG-419N as an access point in the network.
When you enable this, the NBG-419N gets its IP address from the network’s DHCP
server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the NBG-419N can now access
the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address
assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG-419N. You need to reset the NBG-419N to
be able to access the Web Configurator again (see
Section 28.3 on page 179
for
details on how to reset the NBG-419N).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG-419N in
the field below.
Use Defined
LAN IP Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG-419N. Or if your ISP or
network administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the
Internet.
IP Address
Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2.
If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.
IP Subnet
Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your NBG-
419N will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that you
assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed
by the NBG-419N.
Gateway IP
Address
Enter a
Gateway IP Address
(if your ISP or network administrator gave you one)
in this field.
DNS Assignment
First DNS
Server
Second DNS
Server
Select
From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information (and the
NBG-419N's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-only) DNS
server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined
, but leave
the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same IP
address, the second
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a
DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.

Overview
Your NBG-419N can act as a wireless client. In wireless client mode, it can connect to an existing
network via an access point. Use this mode if you already have an access point or router in your
network.
In the example below, one NBG-419N (
A
) is configured as a wireless client and another is used as
an access point (
B
). The wireless client has two clients that need to connect to the Internet. The
NBG-419N wirelessly connects to the available access point (
B
).
Figure 48
Wireless Client Mode
After the NBG-419N and the access point connect, the NBG-419N acquires its WAN IP address from
the access point. The clients of the NBG-419N can now surf the Internet.
9.2
What You Can Do
•
Use the
Status
screen (
Section 8.4 on page 65
) to view read-only information about your NBG-
419N.
•
Use the
LAN
screen (
Section 8.5 on page 67
) to set the IP address for your NBG-419N acting as
an access point.
•
Use the
Wireless LAN
screen () to associate your NBG-419N (acting as a wireless client) with an
existing access point.
9.3
What You Need to Know
With the exception of the
LAN
screen, the
Monitor
,
Configuration
and
Maintainance
screens in
WISP mode are similar to the ones in Router Mode. See
