4.1 Overview

You can set up the NBG-418N v2 with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices in different
device modes.
Note: Choose your device mode carefully to avoid having to change it later. The NBG-
418N v2 automatically restarts when you change modes.
The default LAN IP address of the NBG-418N v2 in Router mode is 192.168.1.1.
The default IP address of the NBG-418N v2 in other modes is 192.168.1.2.
• Router: Use this mode if you want to use routing functions such as LAN DHCP, NAT, firewall and
so on, on the NBG-418N v2 (N). The NBG-418N v2 has separate LAN and WAN network IP
addresses. Connect the WAN port to an Internet Access Device (IAD) such as a broadband
modem.
