you to register this address with them.

For most users, the default values for these fields should be satisfactory and
won't require changing.
• Device IP Address. This is the Wireless AP + Cable/DSL Router's IP
Address in your Network. Use the default value unless that address is already
used by your Network or your Network is using a different IP Address range.
If the IP Address is already in use, change this value to reflect an unused
address. If your Network is using a different IP Address range, change this
value to fit within the range utilized.
• Network Mask. The default value is set for standard, small networks. For
other networks, use the Network Mask for the segment to which the Wireless
AP + Cable/DSL Router is attached, i.e. the same value as the PCs on that seg-
ment.

IP Address. If this option is selected, the following data must be entered:
IP Address. If connecting to an ISP, this is the address allocated by the ISP.

Network.
