Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your
network, here are some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most home and company
users, it's suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is an integer
between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 and 254. This
router is capable of working with up to 253 clients, so you can set
the 'd' field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or any number
between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for field
'c'.
2. In most cases, you should use '255.255.255.0' as the subnet mask,
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets the router's
capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide services to
other people (like Internet service, print service, and file service),
they should use a static IP address. Give each of them a unique
number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone can
locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to providing specific service
to others, they should obtain an IP address automatically.
Recommended setup values will be provided below for your
