LAN IP address settings [router mode]

If the access point is in router mode, the LAN subnet defines the LAN IP address settings
for the access point, including the IP address at which you can access the access point
over the local browser UI, the DHCP IP address settings, and the Router Information
Protocol (RIP) settings.
Note: The information in this section and subsections does not apply if the access point
is in access point mode.
Change the LAN IP address and subnet settings [router
mode]
If the access point is in router mode, it is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on
the LAN side and to function as a DHCP server. The access point's LAN IP configuration
is as follows:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1 (if the access point is in router mode, this is the same
as www.routerlogin.net)
• 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. The IP address and subnet mask identify
which addresses are local to a specific device and which must be reached through a
gateway or router. If you need a specific IP subnet that one or more devices on the
network use, or if competing subnets use the same IP scheme, you can change the LAN
IP address settings.
Note: If you change the default LAN IP address settings, the IP address range for the
default DHCP server also changes (see Manage the DHCP server address pool [router
mode] on page 110).
To change the LAN IP address and subnet settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
access point network.
2. Enter http//www.routerlogin.net in the address field.
If you are not connected to the access point network but to the same network as the
access point, enter the IP address that is assigned to the access point. If you do not
know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the access point when you cannot
use routerlogin.net on page 27.
A login window displays.
