Router Configuration

All Operating Systems
The router must be configured to match your
Internet service. If you do not know your
Internet connection configuration, please
contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).
By default, the router is pre-configured with
these settings:
• Automatically set IP addresses for
computers on your LAN (connected to the
router's ports 1–4). The router acts as a
server for dynamic host configuration
protocol (DHCP) and assigns IP addresses
in the range 192.168.123.100 through
192.168.123.199
• The default LAN IP address for the router is
192.168.123.254 with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0
• The Internet service connected to the
router's WAN port uses a dynamic IP
address
Note: To configure the router, you will need
to use the information you collected when
determining network settings (Computer
Configuration) for your operating system.
