LAN Setup

The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act
as a DHCP server. The router's default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing
scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected
through the browser, you are disconnected. You will have to open a
new connection to the new IP address and log in again.
