Router Settings

These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the router. The router's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network.

IP Address

The IP address of your router on the local area network. Your local area network settings are based on the address assigned here. For example, 192.168.2.1.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of your router on the local area network.

Local Domain Name

This entry is optional. Enter a domain name for the local network. The router's DHCP server will give this domain name to the computers on the wireless LAN. So, for example, if you enter mynetwork.net here, and you have a wireless laptop with a name of chris, that laptop will be known as chris.mynetwork.net. Note, however, if the router's settings specify "DHCP (Dynamic)" Address, and the router's DHCP server assigns a domain name to the AP, that domain name will override any name you enter here.

DNS Relay

When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection. You should disable DNS relay if you implement a LAN-side DNS server as a virtual server.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol)

Used to broadcast routing information among routers.

Enable RIP

Enable RIP if required by the ISP, if the LAN has multiple routers, or if the LAN has auto-IP devices.

RIP Operating mode

This router supports both version 2 and version 1 of the RIP specification.

V1. Use if none of the routers supports Version 2.

V2 Broadcast. Use if some routers are capable of Version 2, but some are only capable of Version 1.

V2 Multicast. Use if this is the only router on the LAN or if all the routers support Version 2.

Router Metric

The additional cost of routing a packet through this router. The normal value for a simple network is 1. This metric is added to routes learned from other routers; it is not added to static or system routes.
