TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the Wireless-N Broadband Router, as seen from the
local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or
your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter
an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Wireless-N Broadband Router is attached (the
same value as the PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server
•
If Enabled, the Wireless-N Broadband Router will allocate IP
Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start
up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
•
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Wireless-N Broadband Router as the default Gateway.
See the following section for further details.
•
The
Start IP Address
,
Finish IP Address
and
Lease Time
fields
set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Ad-
dresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of
DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
