These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private
networks and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP
addressing scheme, you can change these settings.
You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or
more devices on the network use, or if you use competing subnets with the same IP
scheme.
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers on the same network.
To change the LAN IP address settings or RIP settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. To change the LAN IP address settings, do the following:
a. In the IP Address field, type the IP address.
b. In the IP Subnet Mask field, type the subnet mask of the router.
The IP address and subnet mask specify the IP address range that the devices on
your network can use.

• Both: The router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
