TCP/IP
Your Mobile Hotspot is preconfigured to use private IP addresses
on the WAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The router's
default WAN IP configuration is:
•
IP address
: 192.168.1.1
This is the LAN WAN IP address of the router.
•
Subnet mask
: 255.255.255.0
This is the LAN WAN Subnet Mask of the Mobile Hotspot 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 other router.
Note:
These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range
for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most
applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
•
MAC Address
(display only): Displays the device MAC address.
DHCP Server
When enabled, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server allows your Mobile Hotspot to acquire network
configuration settings from your Wireless Provider’s network
automatically.
•
DHCP Server enable
: Click or touch to enable.
•
DHCP Address Range
: The range of IP addresses reserved for use by
Mobile Hotspot’s DHCP server table. If a device with a static IP address
wants to connect to Mobile Hotspot’s network, the static IP should be
outside of the DHCP address range. Most devices do not have a static
IP.
•
Mask
: The subnet mask network setting for Mobile Hotspot. The
default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class “C”)
networks. If you change the LAN IP Address, ensure you use the
correct Subnet Mask for the IP address range containing the LAN IP
address.
•
Gateway
: Displays the default gateway address.
•
DNS Server
: Displays the primary DNS of the present connection.
Connected Devices
Lists Wi-Fi devices (up to 5) connected to your Mobile Hotspot.
