Chapter 3: Routine Router Settings and Status

Using router settings and features

The router comes with pre-set settings that let it operate in most situations. You can make changes to these settings if you want to turn on additional features on your router or to make your router conform to your ISP’s requirements for Internet access.

The Gateway Wireless Router Setup utility lets you turn many of the router’s features on and off to customize your network.

Configuring LAN settings

These settings configure the router for operation within your local area network. The LAN IP address is the address your computers see and the address they use to contact the router.

We recommend that you use the default values for IP address and subnet mask, unless the address is already being used in your LAN or your LAN is using a different address range.

To configure the LAN settings:

1 After accessing the Setup page (see “Contacting the router” on page 14), click LAN in the left column. The LAN window opens.
