5-2 Customizing Your Network Settings
v1.1, January 2007
• From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click LAN IP Setup to view
the LAN IP Setup menu.
Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup ParametersThe router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a
DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
• LAN IP address: 192.168.1.1
• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks, and
should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
The LAN IP parameters are:
• IP Address
The LAN IP address of the router.
• IP Subnet Mask
The LAN Subnet Mask of the 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 router.
