Note 3801HGV supports four subnets simultaneously on the LAN. The 192.168.1.0 / 255.255.255.0 (default) is used as a private subnet by the end user. The 172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 is used as the secondary subnet or public routed subnet by the end user. The remaining options, 10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 and Configure manually are held in reserve to be configured and used by the service provider.

4.Select the Configure manually radio button for setting up a range IP addresses to be assigned to LAN clients. To populate the text fields under this section, refer to the following information:
