LAN IP Settings

You can configure the LAN IP address to suit your preference. Many users will find it convenient to use the default
settings together with DHCP service to manage the IP settings for their private network. The IP address of the Router is
the base address used for DHCP. In order to use the Router for DHCP on your LAN, the IP address pool used for DHCP
must be compatible with the IP address of the Router. The IP addresses available in the DHCP IP address pool will
change automatically if you change the IP address of the Router. See the next section for information on DHCP setup.

To access the

LAN Settings

menu, click the

LAN

button in the

Home

directory.

Configure LAN IP settings

To change the

LAN IP Address

or

web browser should automatically be redirected to the new IP address. You will asked to login again to the Router’s
web manager.
