This is the IP address of the router and is used
as the base for all of your local network settings .

This is the subnet mask address for your
router . It offers a selection of addresses from a drop-down
menu . Most users will not need to change this setting .
Device Name
The default device name is
Ciscoxxxxx
.
xxxxx represents the last 5 digits of your serial number .
This can be found on the bottom of the router . (The Device
name is also the Router’s NetBIOS name .)

server function . The Router can be used as a DHCP server
for your network . A DHCP server automatically assigns an
IP address to each computer or device on your network .

option, make sure there is no other DHCP server
on your network .
