Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters

The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:

•LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1

•Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.

The LAN IP parameters are:

•IP Address

The LAN IP address of the router.

•IP Subnet Mask

The LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.
