In most cases, you will not need to make any changes.

LAN IP Address. The router’s LAN IP address and the gateway address for computers on your network (LAN and WLAN). In most cases, do not change the default value (192.168.123.254).

LAN Subnet Mask. Default is 255.255.255.0

This is a dynamic screen. To minimize confusion, only the fields used in your configuration are shown here. The following fields will appear when the WAN Type is Dynamic IP Address. Other fields will appear when the WAN Type is changed.

WAN Type. Dynamic IP Address is the default. See the next section for details on the various WAN Type settings. To change the specified WAN Type, click Change. See 6.2, “Choose WAN Type.”

Host Name. Required by some ISPs.

WAN’s MAC Address. Some ISPs limit the use of routers. Click Clone MAC to have the router use the MAC address of this computer.

Renew IP Forever. Enable to allow the router to automatically re-connect when the lease time expires.

NAT. By default, Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. This allows the router to share a single Internet (WAN) IP address with multiple computers connected to the LAN or WLAN. If you are using the router only as a firewall or wireless access point, you may want to disable NAT.

After making changes, be sure to click Save [B]. To restore the last saved settings, click Undo.
