Changing LAN Settings

All settings for the internal LAN setup of the Router can be viewed and changed
here.
1. IP Address
The "IP address" is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP
address is "192.168.2.1". To access the Web-Based Advanced User Interface,
type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can
be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address
and click "Apply Changes". The IP address you choose should be a non-
routable IP.
Examples of a non-routable IP are: 192.168.x.x (where x is anything between
0 and 255), and 10.x.x.x (where x is any number between 0 and 255).
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced
feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask if
necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you
have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is "255.255.255.0".
3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The
default setting is "On". The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary;
however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP address for each
computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server, select "Off" and click
"Apply Changes".
4. IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you want
to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending
IP address and clicking on "Apply Changes". The DHCP server can assign
100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot specify an IP
address pool larger than 100 computers. For example, starting at 50 means
