Using the N300 Wireless Modem Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the N300 wireless modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign
IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the N300
wireless modem router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the N300 wireless modem router. The N300 wireless modem router assigns IP addresses to

Description
The LAN IP address of the N300 wireless modem router.
The LAN subnet mask of the N300 wireless modem router.
Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a
device to know which other addresses are local to it, and
which must be reached through a gateway or N300 wireless
modem router.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows the N300 wireless
modem router to exchange routing information with other
routers. This setting controls how the N300 wireless modem
router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.
• Both or Out Only. The N300 wireless modem router
broadcasts its routing table periodically.
• Both or In Only. The N300 wireless modem router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• None. The N300 wireless modem router will not send any
RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the N300 wireless modem router sends. It
recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is
RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M
send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet
broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
