LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address The LAN IP address of the wireless router.
IP Subnet Mask The LAN subnet mask of the wireless router. Combined
with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to
know which other addresses are local to it, and which must
be reached through a gateway or wireless router.
RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a wireless router
to exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the wireless router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default.
•Both or Out Only. The wireless router broadcasts its
routing table periodically.
•Both or In Only. The wireless router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
•None. The wireless router will not send any RIP packets
and will ignore any RIP packets received.
RIP Version This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the wireless router sends. It recognizes
both formats when receiving. By default, this is RIP-1.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most
networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.
• RIP-2 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.
DHCP Server

information
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the wireless
router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See “Using the Router as a DHCP Server”
on page5-4.
Starting IP Address Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless router.
Ending IP Address Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see “Using Address
Reservation” on page 5-4.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
