Wireless Router 

 

3.6 LAN Setup 

3.6.1 LAN Setting 

 

 

 

IP   Address   and   Subnet   Mask:

  The   value   refer   to   your   internal 

network   settings.   Unless   you   have   specific   internal   needs,   these 

should be no reason to change the value.  

DHCP Server:

   

The settings of TCP/IP environment include Host IP, 

Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS configurations. It is not a simple 

task to correctly configure all the computers in your LAN environment. 

Fortunately, DHCP provides a rather simple approach to handle all 

these settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server. If 

you enable this product’s DHCP server and configure you computers
