Let’s Get Going – Software Setup

The following table lists out the parameters relevant to your LAN setup. You can replace
the default settings with appropriate values to suit the needs of your LAN.
LAN Parameters
Description
IP Address
The IP address of your router is set by default to
192.168.168.1
.
When the DHCP server of the router is enabled, unless you set a
different <DHCP Gateway IP address>, this LAN <IP address>
would be allocated as the Default Gateway of the DHCP client.
Network Mask
The Network Mask serves to identify the subnet in which your
router resides. The default network mask is
255.255.255.0
.
The next two fields (
DHCP Start IP Address
and
DHCP End IP Address
) allow you to define
the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an IP address to the
LAN.
DHCP Start IP
Address
This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will assign. The
value that you input here should belong to the same subnet as
your router. For example, if the IP address and network mask of
your router are 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively, the
DHCP Start IP Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can take
any value from 2 to 254. It is pre-set to
192.168.168.100
.
DHCP End IP
Address
This is the last IP address that the DHCP server can assign. It
should also belong to the same subnet as your router. For
instance, if the IP address and network mask of your router are
192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively, the DHCP End IP
Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can take any value
from 2 to 254. It is pre-set as
192.168.168.254
.
DHCP Gateway IP
Address
Insert the IP address of the gateway to Internet or of the router if
this router is the one connecting to the Internet.
If your network uses multiple gateways/routers, you may wish the
router to act as DHCP server to a LAN segment while another
router/AP connects to the Internet or to another LAN.
Though usually, the DHCP server also acts as the Default
Gateway of the DHCP client, the router gives you the option to
define a different <DHCP Gateway IP address>, which will be
allocated as the Default Gateway of the DHCP client.
The DHCP client will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the
router but will access to the Internet or to the other LAN through
the Default Gateway defined by the <DHCP Gateway IP
address>.
Always use these
DNS servers
Enable this checkbox if you want the router to only use the DNS
server you have specified below.
