Description
The LAN IP address of the wireless router.
The LAN subnet mask of the wireless 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 wireless router.
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a wireless router to exchange
routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls
how the wireless router sends and receives RIP packets.
• Both. The wireless router broadcasts its routing table periodically, and it
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• Out Only. The wireless router broadcasts its routing table periodically, but
ignores any RIP packets received.
• In Only. The wireless router incorporates the RIP information that it
receives, but it does not broadcast its routing table.
• None. The wireless router does not send any RIP packets and ignores
any RIP packets received.
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets
that the wireless router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving.
By default, this is set to RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably 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.
This option is available only if you have disabled Network Address
Translation and you have been assigned a fixed address by your ISP. This
allows your router to be managed remotely on a specially assigned port
instead of the HTTP port (80).
By default, the wireless router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the wireless router's LAN.
See "Using the Router as DHCP
Specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, so that it always
receives the same IP address when it access the router's DHCP server.
See "Reserved IP Addresses."
