LAN Configuration
You can change the ADSL Router’s IP address by, clicking LAN, and then LAN Configuration.
Select the options from LAN group 1 and click Configure.
Your ADSL Router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this
subnet mask will allow the ADSL Router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger
number of users you can change the subnet mask; but remember that the DHCP server is
defaulted to only give out 255 IP addresses. Further remember that if you change your gateways’
IP address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same
subnet. The default gateway is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed
to a station within the local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the default gateway Address.
The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is
used to in conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the gateway. To access the ADSL
Router’s web pages, the user can type 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address) or type
mygateway.ar7. The apply button will temporarily save this connection. To make the change
permanent you need to click on Save Settings (at the side of the page). Refer to
