9.1.1 - IP Address Setup: Best Practices

• We recommend leaving the WAP set to DHCP and reserving an IP address in the network router whenever possible.

• If using an unreserved DHCP address, be aware that it may change unexpectedly. Use OvrC to easily find the address again.

• If using a manually configured static IP address:

• Use an IP address that is outside the DHCP server range to avoid duplicate addresses in the network.

• Both primary and secondary DNS addresses are required.
