2. PC Configuration ____ User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration for each system within the Broadband Router’s LAN network. By default, the Broadbnad Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all non-server version of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client.

3.8 Routing 3.8.1 Routing Table The routing table displays the current routing information in system. 3.8.2 Static Routing A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network. Destination LAN IP: The network address of destination LAN. Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination LAN. Gateway: The next stop gateway of the path toward the destination LAN.
3.8.3 Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing can be used to cache routers learned by routing protocols, thus allowing the automation of static routing maintenance. The router, using the RIP (Routing Information Protocol) protocol, determines the network packet’s route based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. In the working mode, router stands for normal rip router. Default gateway stand for router announces defaults route on both sides. Default is Disable. 3.9 Misc 3.9.
3.9.2 DDNS DDNS (Dynamic DNS) provides you on the Internet with a method to tie their domain name to a computer or server. DDNS allows your domain name to follow your IP address automatically by having your DNS records changed when your IP address changes. 3.10 Status 3.10.1 Status This status page displays the router’s current status and configuration. All information is read-only.
3.10.2 Log The log file keeps a running log of events and activities occurring on the device. You may want to save the log files by clicking on Log Setting. When the device is rebooted, the logs are automatically cleared.
