Manage the Modem Router’s LAN IP Address Settings
The modem router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act
as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
• LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1 (This is the same as www.routerlogin.net and
www.routerlogin.com.)
• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and are suitable for most applications. The IP address and subnet mask identify which
addresses are local to a specific device and which must be reached through a gateway or
modem router.
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 competing subnets use the same IP scheme.
