IP Address
: This is the address used by the router for local area network communication. Changes to this parameter may require a restart to computers on this network.
Each network must have a distinct IP address. Most users will want an address from one of the following private IP ranges:
10.0.0.1 - 10.255.255.1
172.16.0.1 - 172.31.255.1
192.168.0.1 - 192.168.255.1
NOTE: The final number does not have to be 1, but it is a simple, logical convention for routers that leaves higher numbers free for other
devices.
Netmask
: (Default: 255.255.255.0) The netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The default value allows for 254 IP addresses.
IPv4 Routing Mode
: (Default: NAT) Each network can use a unique routing mode to connect to the Internet and other local networks. NAT is desirable for most
configurations. Select from the following options in the dropdown list:
NAT
: Network Address Translation hides private IP addresses behind the router's IP address. This is the simplest and most common choice for users, because NAT
does the translation work for you.
Standard
: NAT-less routing. If you select
Standard
, you must separately configure your IP addresses so that they will be publically accessible. Typically you will not
select this option unless you have a specific reason to bypass NAT.
IP Passthrough
: IP Passthrough passes the IP address given by a cellular modem (WAN) through the router to Ethernet (LAN). All Ethernet ports must be in LAN
mode (or disabled) and Hotspot, VPN, and GRE must be disabled. Any wireless interfaces must be removed from this network in order to enable IP Passthrough. The
easiest way to enable IP Passthrough mode is with the
IP Passthrough Setup Wizard
(see
Getting Started
→
IP Passthrough Setup
).
Hotspot
: Provide Hotspot Services on this network, requiring Terms of Service or RADIUS/UAM authentication before WAN access will occur on both wireless and
wired LAN connections. To enable a Hotspot you must also configure your Hotspot settings under
System Settings
→
Hotspot Services
.
Disabled
: Disable this network.
IPv6 Settings
IPv6 must be enabled through the WAN initially: go to
Internet
→
Connection Manager
to enable IPv6.
