When you connect a device to your node's LAN, not only should it have an IP address in the LAN IP address range, but it is best practice for LAN devices to obtain their DNS Server information *automatically* from the node. Be aware that if a LAN device does not use the DNS Server entry provided by the node to which it is connected, then that device will be unable to resolve hostnames on the mesh network. Also, hard-coding a device's DNS Server entry with the mesh node's IP address could result in unexpected failures if that device is moved to another mesh node or network.

If you enabled the **LAN Access Point** feature mentioned previously, edit the access point's SSID, channel, encryption method, and password. Select an AP channel that is within the range supported by your WiFi client devices. Click *Save Changes* to write your information to the node's configuration, and a node reboot will also be required. Now wireless devices can connect to your node's LAN wirelessly, and their DHCP IP address will be assigned by the node's LAN DHCP server. If your node hardware has more than one unused radio, for example the *Mikrotik hAP ac* family with both 2.4 and 5.8 GHz radios in a single unit, the *LAN Access Point* section will always be visible whether or not your *Mesh RF* interface is enabled.

Ping Penalty Ping Penalty
The Link Quality penalty that is imposed on calculations if a remote node does not respond to a ping request. The default value is 5 percent. This setting may be helpful for cases when a link would otherwise be marked *active* but the remote node is currently unreachable on the network.

RTS Threshold
The packet size in bytes before using RTS/CTS when hidden nodes are detected.
User Blocked Nodes User Blocked Nodes
A comma-separated list of MAC addresses which you desire to block from your neighbors list. This feature allows you to "blacklist" specific nodes. RF nodes are blocked by their Wifi MAC address, while DtD nodes are blocked by their LAN MAC address. MAC addresses are typically entered as uppercase characters with the hex pairs separated by colons. A comma-separated list of MAC addresses which you desire to block from your neighbors list.
