HOME - LAN
You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to
use the default settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private
network. The IP address of the Router is the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router
for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP must be compatible with the IP address of
the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will change automatically if you
change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information on DHCP setup.
LAN Settings window
To change the LAN IP Address or Subnet Mask, type in the desired values and click the Apply
button. Your web browser should automatically be redirected to the new IP address. You will asked
to login again to the Router’s web manager.
In addition, the Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or another available service to
workstations on your LAN. When DNS Relay is Enabled, the Router will accept DNS requests from
hosts on the LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative) DNS servers. Alternatively, you may
also disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users,
who are using the Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS servers on the ISP’s
network, will leave DNS relay enabled.
