4.4.3 Static IP Address | 4.5 LAN |
Your ISP provides a static IP address to access Internet services.
4.4.4 Clone MAC Address
Some ISP’s require you to register your MAC address with them. If you have done this, the MAC address of the router must be changed to the MAC address that you supplied to your ISP.
4.4.5 DNS
Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to map a domain name (e.g., www.philips.com) with the IP address (e.g., 64.147.25.20). The DNS address is usually configured automatically. If this is not the case, one or more DNS address will be provided to you by your ISP.
However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address here.
You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your client PCs, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or protocols. The router must have an IP address for the local network.
4.6 WIRELESS
The router can be quickly configured as a wireless access point for roaming clients by setting the service set identifier (SSID) and channel number. It also supports data encryption and client filtering. Check the box to enable the wireless module function.
4.6.1 Channel and SSID
You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to be used by the Wireless Router and all of its wireless clients. Make sure you configure all of its clients to the same values.
