Bridged Mode Only

If you are using your Gateway as a bridge, which makes the Gateway act like a stand-alone modem, select Bridged Mode Only. All NAT and routing settings are disabled in this mode.

Optional Settings (required by some ISPs)

•Host Name and Domain Name. These fields allow you to supply a host and domain name for the Gateway. Some ISPs require these names as identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases, you can leave these fields blank.

•MTU and Size. The MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) setting specifies the largest packet size permitted for network transmission. Select Manual and enter the value desired in the Size field. It is recommended that you leave this value in the 1200 to 1500 range. By default, MTU is configured automatically.

Network Setup

•Router IP. The values for the Gateway’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases, keeping the default values will work.

•Local IP Address. The default value is 192.168.1.1.

•Subnet Mask. The default value is 255.255.255.0.

•Network Address Server Settings (DHCP). Configure the Gateway’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) settings in this section.

•Local DHCP Server. A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on your network for you. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you leave the Gateway enabled as a DHCP server. You can also use the Gateway in DHCP Relay mode.

•DHCP Relay Server. If you enable the DHCP Relay mode for the Local DHCP Server setting, enter the IP address for the DHCP server in the fields provided.

•Starting IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value must be 192.168.1. 2 or greater, because the default IP address for the Gateway is 192.168.1.1.

•Maximum Number of DHCP Users. Enter the maximum number of users/clients that can obtain an IP address. The number will vary depending on the starting IP address entered.
