Simple AP (Access Point)
We consider this simply network topology:
One Router/Gateway connected to Internet and/or private LAN (IP Address: 10.10.10.254/24)
One AP AirOS device directly connected to Router (IP Address: 10.10.10.253/24)
One or more Wireless Clients (Notebook, WiFi-Phone, other Wireless devices...)
The Router assigns IP Address to network devices by DHCP Server. Alternatively, if you prefer, you can set
static IP Address on Client.
