3.4.1.3. Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection
Fig. 29. TCP/IP settings for Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode.
If the WIASA was set to be in Router with a DHCP-Based DSL/Cable Connection mode, two IP
addresses are needed—one for the Ethernet/wireless LAN interfaces and the other for the WAN in-
terface. The IEEE 802.11b interface and the Ethernet LAN interface share the LAN IP address. The
LAN IP address must be set manually to a private IP address, say 192.168.0.xxx. The default LAN IP
address is 192.168.0.1 and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. In most cases, these default set-
tings need no change.
As for the WAN IP address, it is obtained automatically by DHCP from the ISP. If you are using Tel-
stra BigPond cable-based Internet service, select the Connect with BigPond Cable check box and
specify the User name, Password, and the IP address of your Login server, which is provided by the
ISP.
Custom MAC Address of WAN Interface enables you to change the MAC address of the Ethernet
WAN interface. Therefore, if the ISP-provided DSL or cable modem works only with the
ISP-provided Ethernet card for a computer, the WAN interface of the WIASA can mimic the
ISP-provided Ethernet card by changing its MAC address to the Ethernet card's MAC address.
