DEVICE IP SETTINGS
The Device IP setting screen allows you to configure the IP address and subnet mask of your
802.11a/g Router: you can configure a static IP address and a subnet mask, or configure it to obtain an
IP address and a subnet mask automatically from a DHCP server on the local network.
If you choose to assign a static IP address manually, check the button that says, “Assign static IP to
this device” and then fill in the following fields
IP Address and IP Subnet Mask: These values default to 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively.
This IP address can be modified if necessary, to either a different address in this same subnet or to an
address in a different subnet.
When you modify it, if the DHCP server function of your 802.11a/g Router is enabled, the pool of
IP addresses it will use for assignment purposes will also be automatcailly adjusted accordingly. For
example, if the default IP address is used, the IP address pool for assignment consists of addresses
from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. However, please do not change the default IP address unless
you know exactly what you want to achieve.
Then you should press Next to get to the next screen.
If you choose to use an external DHCP Server to automatically assign an IP address to your 802.11a/g
Router, check the button that says, “Use the DHCP protocol to automatically get the IP address
for this device”, and then press Next to the next screen.
When an IP address is dynamically assigned to the router, its value can change depending on the IP
address assignment policy used by the DHCP server in the network. Since you need to use an IP
address to control and manage your 802.11a/g Router, without the knowledge of its IP address, in
