Settings		Description
LAN TCP/IP	IP Address	The LAN IP address of the wireless router.
Setup
	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.
