The RG230 must have a valid IP address for management using a web browser and
to support other features. The unit has a default IP address of 192.168.1.1. You can
use this IP address or assign another address that is compatible with your existing
local network. The unit can also be enabled as a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server to allocate IP addresses to local PCs.

LAN Settings

The RG230 includes a DHCP server that can assign temporary IP addresses to any
attached host requesting the service. Addresses are assigned to clients from a
common address pool configured on the unit. Configure an address pool by
specifying start and end IP addresses. Be sure not to include the unit's IP address in
the address pool range.
