NOTES
• Just like there are several ways to skin a cat, the network settings of the Nanostation and computer can be
many. The settings here have been found most convenient while cruising because connecting to new WIFI
access points in different places require a minimum of effort.
• Since the default Nano IP address is in the very common range 192.168.1.x, and we cannot risk having
the same range on our own local LAN as the WLAN ashore, we have changed the original Nano IP from
192.168.1.20 to 192.168.10.20. We have also activated the Nano’s DHCP server which means that the computer
can get network settings assigned automatically (an IP in the range 192.168.10.100 to 200, plus the Gateway
and DNS server = IP of the Nano). We still need to set the computer to acquire the IP automatically (see end of
next page).
The changes made on the previous page are memorized but not yet
in effect. Only after clicking “Apply” with they take effect. Since we
still need to make some other changes, we’ll “Apply” them all later.
DO NOT APPLY YET!
