User`s guide
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the 
IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign 
the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same 
subnet as all the other computers. 
The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need 
to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save 
All.
4.5.2 Changing the ADSL Router IP address 
You can change the ADSL Router’s IP address by, clicking Setup and under LAN Setup, select 
Management. This will bring up the screen shown in Figure 12. 
4.5.2.1 Static IP address assignment 
Your ADSL Router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this 
subnet mask will allow the ADSL Router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger 
number of users you can change the subnet mask; but remember. The DHCP server is defaulted 
to only give out 255 IP addresses. Further remember that if you change your gateways’ IP 
address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same 
subnet 
The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a 
station within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the default gateway Address.  
Figure 12 shows a default gateway address of 203.125.64.1 because this was the default 
gateway defined when the CLIP connection was configured. 
The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is 
used to in conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the gateway. To access the ADSL 
Router’s web pages the user can type 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address) or type 
mygateway.ar7.
