Setting Up the Router in Your LAN

The following table lists out the parameters relevant to your LAN setup. You can replace the default settings with appropriate values to suit the needs of your LAN.

LAN Parameters

Description

IP Address	The IP address of your router access point is 192.168.168.1
	by default.
	When the DHCP server of the access point is enabled, this
	LAN <IP address> would be allocated as the Default
	Gateway of the DHCP client unless you set a different
	<DHCP Gateway IP address>
Network Mask	The Network Mask identifies the subnet in which your
	router resides.
	The default network mask is 255.255.255.0.
Management	(Optional) As a bridge router, the router does not usually
Gateway IP	communicate with devices on other IP subnets. However,
	the Management Gateway here acts as the equivalent
	of the Default Gateway of a PC, to allow the router to
	communicate with devices on different subnets.
	For instance, if you want to access the router from the
	internet or from the router on the LAN, you can set the IP
	address of the router as the Management Gateway IP.
	The Management Gateway IP address of your router is set
	to Nil by default.

The next two fields (DHCP Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address) allow you

to define the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an IP address to the LAN.

DHCP Start	IP	This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will assign.
Address		The value you enter should belong to the same subnet as
		your router.
		For example if the IP address and network mask of your
		router are 192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively,
