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;
