Configuring Advanced Settings
The Edit Advanced Home Network Settings page displays the current IP settings in use by your system for
your home network, and allows you to configure your home network settings. You should adjust these
settings
ONLY
if you are very familiar with computer networking technologies.
The Current Settings panel shows the following information:
•
Router Address. The IP address used by your gateway on the private home network (the default is
192.168.1.254). The gateway has two IP addresses: a private address that it uses on the home
network, and one that is used on the public broadband connection on the Internet. You can change the
home network IP address by changing the home network IP address range.
•
Subnet Mask. The subnet mask is determined by the home network IP address range settings (the
default is 255.255.255.0).
•
DHCP Range. The range of IP addresses used by your system (the default is 192.168.1.33 through
192.168.1.250). IP addresses can be either static (permanently assigned) or dynamic (automatic and
temporary).
