AC1200 WiFi DSL Modem Router—Essentials Edition Model D6100
Manage the Router Information Protocol Settings
Router Information Protocol (RIP) lets the modem router exchange routing information with
other routers. By default, RIP is enabled in both directions (in and out) without a particular
RIP version.
To manage the RIP settings:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
5. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup screen displays.
6. Select an RIP direction:
•Both. The modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives. This is the default setting.
•Out Only. The modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
•In Only. The modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives but does
not broadcast its routing table.
7. Select an RIP version:
•Disabled. The RIP version is disabled. This is the default setting.
•RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless
you are using an unusual network setup.
•RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses
multicasting.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
