Network

The IP address used, the set DHCP Mode and the MAC address of the wifi range extender are displayed directly here. Click on the "Network" icon to adjust the network settings.

IP address

You can change the IP address of the wifi range extender here.

DHCP

You can set the DHCP Mode here. The following options can be selected: Disable, Server and Auto. The Auto option is enabled in the original condition of the device. With the Auto option, IP addresses are assigned automatically. The assignments are permanent here and are not removed. The

advantage here is that an end device always has the same IP address. The disadvantage is that new end devices do not receive an IP address if the address range is completely assigned, even if IP addresses are no longer actively used. This is in contrast to the Server option where IP addresses are assigned automatically and recorded in a table. The assignment is not permanent here, however, and end devices may be assigned another IP address.
