Configuring the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway

Configuring Internet Settings

Internet settings define how the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway connect to your service

provider’s Wireless Broadband Network. This section describes how to view and

configure the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway’s Internet settings. Topics discussed include:

■ Default IP Addressing Behavior

■ Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

■ Changing the Network Connection Type

■ Renewing and Releasing DHCP

Default IP Addressing Behavior

By default, the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway is configured to automatically obtain an IP

address from a DHCP server on the network. If the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway does not

detect a DHCP server, it automatically assigns itself the static IP address

192.168.30.1 to make it easier for you to preconfigure and deploy it your network.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

There are at least two instances when you would want to change the IP address of the

Smart Wi-Fi Gateway:

■ If the current IP address that the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway is using consistently conflicts

with that of another device on the network

■ If you want to switch from DHCP to static IP addressing, for use in managing or

maintaining the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway

Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the

Smart Wi-Fi Gateway, it may prove helpful for anyone needing administrative access

to assign a static IP address to the Smart Wi-Fi Gateway.
