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 ...
So after checking out some more values in the advanced setup menu I found the entry to enable the unit as an access point, no need to go through the rigamarole that is posted on other sites.
Upgraded the FW while I was mucking about.
Thanks for the assistance.

Is the WAC124 configured to Access Point Mode (not to Router Mode)? Reason asking (among others): There is no DHCP server to be disabled in AP mode.
FW V1.0.4.6
