4.5 LAN Configuration

The Wireless Broadband Router communicates with the wired/wireless clients through its LAN port. The LAN configuration page allows you to define the private IP address and DHCP server (NAT Routing only) settings over the LAN interface.

uManual Config

IP Address/Subnet Mask. Enter the IP address and subnet mask for the Wireless Broadband Router LAN port. All local wired/wireless devices communicate with the device through this port. It is also the IP address of the Web-based Configuration Utility. By default, the IP address and subnet mask of the LAN port is 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively. Note that if you change the private IP address and apply the changes, the PC from which you configure the router will lose the communication to the router. To reconnect, you will need to renew the IP address of the PC or change to an IP address compatible with the new LAN port IP address.

uDHCP Server (Router Mode Only)

Services: Select whether to enable DHPC service for LAN and WLAN. The Wireless Broadband Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on its LAN and WLAN interface, which dynamically assigns IP addresses to the DHCP clients on the LAN / WLAN. The DHCP server also provides a default gateway (the router’ s LAN IP address) and DNS addresses for DHCP clients to access the Internet. DHCP function spares you the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the LAN / WLAN. If you already have a DHCP server on your network you should disable this function. DHCP server is enabled by default.

It is not allowed to have two DHCP servers running on one LAN at the same time. If you decide to enable the DHCP on this router, remember to disable the DHCP function of the other device.

Note

If DHCP server is enabled, enter the fields below:
