familiar with
networks and IP addresses, and one of the following conditions is applicable:
You have not yet used IP addresses in your network but would like to do so
starting now. You are not concerned about the specific IP addresses that will be
used. The access point will then act as a DHCP server and automatically assign
the IP addresses for all devices in the network (LAN and WLAN).

You do not want to use IP addresses because you are using a pure Windows
network, for example.
If you are not sure whether your network already uses IP addresses, click on
Start
Run
, enter
winipcfg
on the command line and click
OK
. Select your network adapter
in the following window. If the 'IP Address' field contains the value '0.0.0.0', the network

Select the option 'I would like to make the settings myself' if you are familiar with
networks and IP addresses, and one of the following conditions is applicable:
You have not yet used IP addresses in your network but would like to do so
starting now. You would like to assign the IP address of the access point yourself
from the address space reserved for private use, e.g. '10.0.0.1' with the subnet
mask '255.255.255.0'. You are thereby also defining the address space that the
DHCP server, if active, will use for the other devices on the network.
