WG302v2, WAG302v2 –DHCP: Use and Configuration

The WG302v2/WAG302v2 can act as a DHCP server for wireless client. The

WG302v2/WAG302v2 provides the pre-configured TCP/IP configuration for wireless clients

connected to the access point.

The WG302v2/WAG302v2 DHCP server only assigns network information to clients that connect

to the access point through security profiles that are on the same VLAN as security profile 1.

VLAN 1 is the default VLAN for all security profiles.

Enabling the DHCP server on the WG302v2/WAG302v2 causes Network Address

Translation (NAT) to be enabled on the access point - The WG302v2/WAG302v2 in this case

acts similar to a NAT router for the wireless clients who receive their network information from the

access point. All network traffics from the wireless client designated to the wired network are

NAT-ed to the access point’s LAN IP address.

As a result, the DHCP network (wireless network) configured in the WG302v2/WAG302v2 DHCP

settings must be in a different subnet than the wired network.

WG302v2/WAG302v2

In the above example, the wired network where the router and the access point resided is

192.168.0.0/24. When enabling the DHCP server on the WG302v2/WAG302v2, the DHCP

network must be in a different subnet than 192.168.0.0/24. In our example, we use

192.168.1.0/24.

To enable DHCP server on the WG302v2/WAG302v2, go to Advanced->IP Settings in the access

point’s management interface. Select the radio button to enable DHCP server. Enter the starting

and ending IP Address of the DHCP pool, subnet mask, gateway IP address, primary and

secondary DNS server addresses, primary and secondary WINS server addresses and lease

time. Click Apply.

Wireless clients connect to the WG302v2/WAG302v2 will receive one of the addresses from the

DHCP pool. However, DNS Server address assigned to the wireless client will always be the

same address as the default gateway address. It was because the WG302v2/WAG302v2 uses

DNS proxying. The wireless client’s DNS requests are sendt to the access point then proxy to the

designated DNS Server specified in the DHCP setting.

This is specific for v2 of WG302 and WAG302. WG302v1 and WAG302v1 DHCP server works

differently. Refer to the reference manuals of WG302v1 and WAG302v1 on how to setup DHCP

server on those access points.
