Disable the DHCP client and specify a fixed
IP address
By default, the DHCP client of the access point is enabled and the access point receives
an IP address from a DHCP server (or a router that functions as a DHCP server) in your
network. If your network does not include a DHCP server or you prefer to specify a fixed
(static) IP address, disable the DHCP client of the access point.
To disable the DHCP client and specify a fixed IP address:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer that is connected to the same network as
the access point or directly to the access point through an Ethernet cable or WiFi
connection.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point.
A login window displays.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 46.
3. Enter the access point user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified. The user name
and password are case-sensitive.
If you previously added the access point to a NETGEAR Insight network location and
managed the access point through the Insight app or Insight Cloud portal, enter the
Insight network password for that location. For more information, see Connect over
WiFi using the NETGEAR Insight app on page 31.
The Dashboard page displays.
4.
Select Management > Configuration > IP > LAN.
The page that displays lets you specify the LAN settings, but the fields are masked
because the DHCP client is enabled.
