24. Configure the TEW-715APO's IP address to
a valid IP address within the subnet defined
by the Router. Avoid using an IP address
within the DHCP pool of your router. In this
example, we will assume the following:
Router IP Address: 192.168.10.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP Pool:
192.168.10.100~192.168.10.199
The TEW-715APO will be setup with the
following IP address assignment:
IP Address: 192.168.10.200
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.10.1
