IP Mode

Choose the type of addressing to use on your network:

IPv4 Only—Use only IPv4 addressing.

Dual-StackIP—Use IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. After you enable this option by saving the settings on this page, you can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for LAN, WAN, and DMZ settings on this page.

LAN Setting (device IP address and subnets)

The default LAN settings should be sufficient for most small businesses, but if needed, you can change the LAN IP address of the router and enable multiple subnets.

Changing the device IP address, page 28

Enabling multiple subnets (IPv4 only), page 29

NOTE If you enabled Dual-Stack IP for the IP Mode, you can click the IPv6 tab to configure IPv6 addresses.

Changing the device IP address

STEP 1 Enter the following information:

For IPv4: Click the IPv4 tab, and then enter the Device IP Address and Subnet Mask. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Note: The MAC address of the router also appears in this section. This value cannot be changed.

For IPv6: Click the IPv6 tab, and then enter the IPv6 Address and the Prefix Length. The default IP address is fc00::1, and the default prefix length is 7. The IPv6 tab is available only if Dual-Stack IP is enabled in the IP Mode section. If you change the IP Mode setting, you must save the settings before you continue.

Note: To configure global IPv6 prefixes for your LAN devices, go to the WAN Settings section, click the IPv6 tab, and click the Edit icon for the WAN interface. Then enter the LAN IPv6 Address. For more information, see WAN Setting (Internet connection), page 31.

STEP 2 Click Save to save your changes, or click Cancel to undo them.
