router.
IP Address
The default IP address of the router (as shown) is
192.168.1.1.
Netmask
The default subnet mask of your router is 255.255.255.0.
This subnet allows the router to support 254 users. If you
want to support a larger number of users you can
change the subnet mask.
Default Gateway 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 provides you with the
IP address of the default gateway.
Host Name
The host name is used in conjunction with the domain
name to uniquely identify the router. It can be any
alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.
Domain
The domain name is used in conjunction with the host
name to uniquely identify the router. To access the web
pages of the router you can type 192.168.1.1 (the IP
address) or mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain).
Enable DHCP Server
Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your router has the
DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a
DHCP server running on your network, you must disable
one of the two DHCP servers.
Assign ISP DNS,
SNTP
Enable/disables the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature when
the DHCP server of your router has been enabled. To
learn more, please refer to
Assign ISP DNS, SNTP
.
Start IP
The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts
issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the
IP address value of the router. For example, if the IP
address of the router is 192.168.1.1 (default), then the
starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).
End IP
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops
issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed
a subnet limit of 254; hence the max value for the
default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server
runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to
network resources. If this happens, you can increase the
Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or reduce the
lease time.
Lease Time
The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network
user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the
