In our example, we have used 192.168.1.187 for AP1 and 192.168.188 for AP2. If you are setting up from zero, then the default IP will be 192.168.0.50
You will need to make sure your LAN settings match your situation:
Our example is 192.168.1.187 and 192.168.1.188 therefore the LAN setting of the PC / Laptop will be of follows:
IP: 192.168.1.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1
If your setup is from zero, then the LAN setting should follow this example:
IP: 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.50
Configuration LAN of AP1:
IP: 192.168.1.187
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1
DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS Servers)
Configuration LAN of AP2:
IP: 192.168.1.188
Subnet: 255.255.255.0
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.1.1
DNS Server: 8.8.8.8 (Google DNS Servers)
