NETGEAR RangeMax™ NEXT Wireless Router WNR834M Reference Manual

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 IETF-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

This is the LAN IP address of the router.

•IP Subnet Mask

This is 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.

•RIP Direction

RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default.

—When set to Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table periodically.

—When set to Both or In Only, the router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.

—When set to None, the router does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received.

•RIP Version

This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By default, this is set for RIP-1.

—RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.

—RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the

new IP address and log in again.
