If your setting up new networking settings, if you configured the RBR50 for AP mode using Dynamic IP addressing, then after you change the networking on the host router, just reboot the RBR and RBS or power the system OFF for 30 seconds then back ON. The RBR and RBS should get the new network configuration. 

 

If you set static IP address configuration on the RBR for AP mode, then you'll need to navigate to Advanced Tab/Advanced/Router mode/AP mode then set the new static networking configuration there.
