GLOSSARY
IP address
The “IP address” is the Internal IP address of the Router. To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser. This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address you choose should be a
192.168.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255.)
10.x.x.x (where x is anything between 0 and 255.)
Subnet Mask
Some networks are far too large to allow all traffic to flood all its parts. These networks must be broken down into smaller, more manageable sections, called subnets. The subnet mask is the network address plus the information reserved for identifying the “subnetwork”.
DNS
DNS is an acronym for Domain Name Server. A Domain Name Server is a server located on the Internet that translates URLs (Universal Resource Links) like www.belkin.com to IP addresses. Many ISPs do not require you to enter this information into the Router. If you are using a static IP connection type, then you may need to enter a specific DNS address and secondary DNS address for your connection to work properly. If your connection type is Dynamic or PPPoE, it is likely that you do not have to enter a DNS address.
PPPoE (Routing Mode, for multiple PCs)
Most ADSL providers use PPPoE as the connection type. If you use an ADSL modem to connect to the Internet, your ISP may use PPPoE to log you into the service.
Your connection type is PPPoE if:
1.Your ISP gave you a user name and password which is required to connect to the Internet
2.Your ISP gave you software such as WinPoET, Enternet300 that you use to connect to the Internet
