Change mode

Select this option to have the NBG6716 change its LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1 or
192.168.1.1 accordingly when the NBG6716 gets a dynamic WAN IP address in the
same subnet as the LAN IP address 192.168.1.1 or 10.0.0.1.

The NAT, DHCP server and firewall functions on the NBG6716 are still available in this
mode.
