Optional Settings (Required by some ISPs)
Some of these settings may be required by your ISP. Verify with your ISP before making any changes.
Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Router. Some
ISPs require these names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet
service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
MTU. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for network
transmission. Select Enabled and enter the value desired. It is recommended that you leave this value in the
1200 to 1500 range. For most DSL users, it is recommended to use the value 1492. By default, MTU is set at 1500
when disabled.
LAN Setup
The LAN Setup section allows you to change the Router's local network settings.
LAN IP
The Router's Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases, you can keep the defaults.
Local IP Address. The default value is 192.168.1.1.
Subnet Mask. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The Router can be used as your network's DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which
automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the Router enabled as a DHCP server.
Local DHCP Server. DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your
network, set the Router's DHCP option to Disabled. If you disable DHCP, assign a static IP address to the Router.
