4. Configure the following values:
Host Name &Domain Name These fields allow you to give the Router a
Host and Domain name. Some ISPs require these names as identification.
You may have to check with your ISPto see if your broadband Internet ser v-
ice has been configured with Host and Domain names. In most cases, leav-
ing these two fields blank will still work.
LAN IP Address These values refer to your internal network settings.
Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to change
these values. For the internal LAN side, the Router’s default values are as
follows:
•Private IP Address: 192.168.1.1
Now that your TCP/IPsetup is complete, you can begin configuring your
Router.

er’s Address field. This number is the Router’s default IPaddress. Press the
Enter key.
2. A username and password promptwill appear. Leave the User Name field
