WAC124 Invalid gateway IP Address
I am attempting to configure the WAC124 as an access point on my home network. I have turned off DHCP and set the lan to use address 192.168.0.68 in the LAN section of setup. I am able to connect to ...
Start with the WAC (in AP mode) configured o DHCP, and let the WAC fetch the complete IP config from the router based DHCP server. This will show the current valid configuration. Much more flexible if you get one day a new mode/router or any other router defaulting to a different IP network.
Desperately want to out up a static IP config to the WAC why ever, replicate the DHCP assigned data, just ensure the .68 LAN IP (hopefully available) is in place.
Much better would be to add a MAC-IP address reservation the router DHCP config, and keep the AP config on a DHCP client config.
Unclear if you state just the WAC can't get to the Internet, or if all the wireless clients you associate with won't get Internet access. Keep in mind the wireless clients typically get the network config from the router DHCP s server - the WAC Ap IP configuration is just for the AP purpose, no for the wireless clients typically.
