Choose the type of addressing to use on your network:
•
IPv4 Only—
Use only IPv4 addressing.

by saving the settings on this page, you can configure both IPv4 and IPv6
addresses for LAN, WAN, and DMZ settings on this page.
LAN Setting (device IP address and subnets)
The default LAN settings should be sufficient for most small businesses, but if
needed, you can change the LAN IP address of the router and enable multiple
subnets.
