IP Address

IP address for the Wireless Router, as seen from the local LAN. Use

 

the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is

 

using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP

 

Address from within the range used by your LAN.

 

 

Subnet Mask

The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")

 

networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN

 

segment to which the Wireless Router is attached (the same value as

 

the PCs on that LAN segment).

 

 

DHCP Server

• If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs

 

(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and

 

recommended) value is Enabled.

 

• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be

 

Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to

 

treat the Wireless Router as the default Gateway. See the

 

following section for further details.

 

• The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values

 

used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP

 

clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients

 

supported.

 

See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
