The Setup Tab
Wireless-N ADSL2+ Gateway
Bridge Mode Only
If you are using your Gateway as a bridge, which makes the Gateway act like a stand-alone modem, select
Bridge Mode Only
. All NAT and routing settings are disabled in this mode.
Optional Settings (required by some ISPs)
•
Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway.
Some ISPs require these names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your
broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, you can leave
these fields blank.
•
MTU and Size. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for
network transmission. Select
Manual
and enter the value desired in the
Size
field. It is recommended that
you leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. By default, MTU is configured automatically.
Network Setup
•
Router IP. The values for the Gateway’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases,
keeping the default values will work.
•
Local IP Address. The default value is
192.168.1.1
.
•
Subnet Mask. The default value is
255.255.255.0
.
•
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP). Configure the Gateway’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) settings in this section.
•
DHCP Server. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically assigns an IP address to
each computer on your network for you. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you
leave the Gateway enabled as a DHCP server. You can also use the Gateway in DHCP Relay mode. (This
setting is not available for all Encapsulation types.)
•
DHCP Server. If you enable the DHCP Relay mode for the
DHCP Server
setting, enter the IP address for the
DHCP relay server in the fields provided. (This setting is not available for all Encapsulation types.)
•
Starting IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value
must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, because the default IP address for the Gateway is
192.168.1.1
.
•
Maximum Number of DHCP Users. Enter the maximum number of users/clients that can obtain an IP
address. The number will vary depending on the starting IP address entered.
