Configure the following values
:
Host Name & Domain Name
These fields allow you to give the Router a
Host and Domain name. Some ISPs require these names as identification.
You may have to check with your ISP to see if your broadband Internet serv-
ice has been configured with Host and Domain names. In most cases, leav-
ing these two fields blank will still work.
LAN IP Address
These values refer to your internal network settings.
Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to change
these values. For the internal LAN side, the Router’s default values are as
follows:
Private IP Address:
192.168.1.1
