Figure 4-5 Network Menu Selecting Network > LAN will enable you to configure the IP parameters of Network on this page. Figure 4-6 LAN – Smart IP (DHCP) Figure 4-7 LAN – Static IP   MAC Address - The physical address of the LAN port, as seen from the LAN. Type - Several IP types are supported, including: (1) Static IP; (2) Smart IP (DHCP), and they are explained below.   Static IP - In this type, you can configure IP Address/Gateway manually. Smart IP (DHCP) - In this type, if your Range Extender have connected to a router, your client will dynamically get an IP Address/Gateway from the router, otherwise the client will get a IP Address/Gateway in the same network as you set below. And this type is recommended.   IP Address - Enter the IP address of your Range Extender in dotted-decimal notation (factory default setting is 192. 168. 0. 254). Subnet Mask - An address code that determines the size of the network. If your country or region is not listed, please contact your local government agency for assistance. Survey - Click this button, you can search the AP which runs in the current channel. Main Router/AP WiFi Network Name (SSID) - The SSID of the AP your device is going to connect to as a client. MAC Address of Main Router/AP - The BSSID of the AP your device is going to connect to as a client. Range Extender WiFi Network Name (SSID) - The wireless network name (also called SSID) of the device which your PC or other device can be connected to.
