Change the Router's LAN IP Address and RIP Settings

The router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to function as a DHCP server.
The router's default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
• 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.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or more devices on the
network use, or if you use competing subnets with the same IP scheme.
To change the LAN IP address and RIP settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the router network.

A login window opens.
