The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 1 and 254) 10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 1 and 254)
172.y.x.x (where x is anything between 1 and 254 and y is anything between 16 and 31)
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is “255.255.255.0”.

To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
