LAN DHCP Settings

Click on “LAN Services” to access this screen. Your Router allows you to specify an internal IP address. You may also turn the DHCP service on and off. We recommend using DHCP service for the easiest setup of your network. Making changes to this screen will require you to re-configure your networked PC's.

NAT Enable/Disable

Network Address Translation (NAT) is used for security by making your internal network invisible to the Internet. We recommend that you leave NAT enabled for security reasons.

Set Time Zone

If you are using any of the time-based functions of the Router such as Client Filtering, you will need to set the time zone you reside in for the function to work properly. Your Router automatically obtains the correct time from the Internet by using SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol). There are many servers on the Internet which get the time from the atomic clock. The time is then broadcast over the Internet from these servers and then is received by your Router. You do not need to set the clock.

Change Password

The Router ships without a set password. It is not necessary to enter a password. If you choose not to use a password, leave the space blank. If you do choose to enter a password, be sure to write it down in a safe place. To set a password, enter it into the "New Password" field and confirm it in the next field. To change your password, enter your existing password and then enter the new password twice. If you forget your password, you can perform a manual reset of the router by pressing and holding the reset button for 5 seconds. When you release the button, the power light will begin flashing. Reset is done on the back of the Router.
