USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
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 advanced setup 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)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything 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 you have to end at 150 or
lower so as not to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be
lower in number than the ending IP address.
