Setting up your wireless router
Changing LAN settings
All settings for the internal LAN setup of your router can be viewed and changed here.
IP Address–The IP address is the internal IP address of your router. The default IP
address is 192.168.2.1. To access the Web-Based Advanced User Interface, type this
IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed.
To change the IP address, type the new IP address and click Apply Changes. The IP
address you choose should be a non-routable IP.
Examples of a non-routable IP are: 192.168.x.x (where x is anywhere between 0 and
255), and 10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255).
Subnet MaskThere is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique,
advanced feature of your router. It is possible to change the subnet mask if necessary;
however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason
to do so. The default setting is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP ServerThe DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default
setting is On. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do
so you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To
turn off the DHCP server, select Off, then click Apply Changes.
IP Pool–The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers
on your network. The default is 2-100 (99 computers). If you want to change this
number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking
Apply Changes. The DHCP server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This
means that you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For
example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed the
100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP
address.
