NOTE: Dell technical support representatives do not support the configuration options in
the Advanced Settings portion of the configuration program. These options are
provided for your convenience only. However, the advanced settings are fully
documented and explained in this guide.
The options Port Forwarding Settings and Static Routing are invisible if you are
in Access Point Mode.

Advanced IP Settings

The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router comes with an assigned IP address and IP subnet
mask. These settings apply only to the local network portion of the router. If you are installing
the unit on an existing network or simply want to change these values, make sure the IP
subnet mask is the same for all devices on your network. The network portion of the IP
address must also be the same for all devices on your network.
NOTE: Dell strongly suggests you do not change the IP address unless there is a specific
reason for doing so.
While you are changing the IP address, be aware of the following:
•
Changing the IP address of the Wireless 2350 also changes the IP address pool if the
DHCP server is enabled.
•
If you are using the Wireless 2350 with a cable modem or DSL line, you should assign
a private IP address. Private IP addresses are in one of three ranges:
•
10.0.0.1-10.254.254.254
•
172.16.0.1-172.31.254.254
•
192.168.0.1-192.168.254.254
•
You must use the new IP address to access the web-based configuration tool.
NOTE: You should only change the IP address or IP subnet mask if you are installing the
Wireless 2350 on an existing wired network and the DHCP server function for your
Wireless 2350 is disabled in the Advanced Settings. For more information,
contact your network administrator.
