Configuring IP Address and DNS Information for LAN

Your router manages traffic for your local area network (LAN). To change the IP address and DNS configuration:
1. From Setup, select IP Configuration.
2. To configure the address information:
In the IP Address field, type the router's IP address. The default is 192.168.2.1.
In the Mask field, type the mask for the network. The default is 255.255.255.0.
In the Gateway field, type the IP address of the network's gateway (router). If this device is the gateway,
leave this field blank.
3. To resolve domain names, configure domain name server information (DNS).
To allow the router to behave as a local DNS forwarder, check Enable Forwarding Server.
Note:
there is no record in the router's cache. New requests are cached in the router for future
requests.
In the Primary Server field, type the address of the primary DNS.
In the Secondary Server field, type the address of the secondary DNS.
The WAN DNS Servers field displays information about DNS servers, if any, that have been detected on
the WAN link of the router.
