Manage the Router Information Protocol settings [router
mode]
If the access point is in router mode, Router Information Protocol (RIP) lets the access
point exchange routing information with other routers. By default, RIP is enabled in both
directions (in and out) without a particular RIP version.
To manage the RIP 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.
If your browser does not display the login window but displays a security message
and does not let you proceed, see Log in to the access point after initial setup on
page 30.
3. Enter the access point local device password.
The local device password is the one that you specified. The local device password
is case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. From the RIP Direction menu, select the RIP direction:
• Both. The access point broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives. This is the default setting.
• Out Only. The access point broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
• In Only. The access point incorporates the RIP information that it receives but
does not broadcast its routing table.
6. From the RIP Version menu, select the RIP version:
• Disabled. The RIP version is disabled. This is the default setting.
• RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless
you are using an unusual network setup.
