6.4. How to set a static IP address on a PC?

The Router, by default, assigns an IP address range of 10.0.0.3 to

10.0.0.14 using the DHCP server on the Router. To set a static IP

address, you can only use the ranges 10.0.0.15 to 10.0.0.254 , Each PC

or network device that uses TCP/IP must have a unique address to

identify itself in a network. If the IP address is not unique to a network,

Windows will generate an IP conflict error message. You can assign

6.5. How to set up online game hosting or use other Internet

applications?

If you want to play online games or use Internet applications, most will

work without doing any port forwarding or DMZ hosting. There may be

cases when you want to host an online game or Internet application.

This would require that you set up the Router to deliver incoming packets

or data to a specific computer. This also applies to the Internet

applications you are using. The best way to get the information on what

port services to use is to go to the website of the online game or

application you want to use. (refer to page18

Port Forwarding

)

If you are having difficulties getting any Internet game, server, or

application to function properly, consider exposing one PC to the Internet

using DeMilitarized Zone (DMZ) hosting. (refer to page21

DMZ

setting)

6.6. How to reset the Router to the factory default settings?

Hold the Reset button for up to 5 seconds and then release it. This will

return the password, forwarding, and other settings on the Router to the

factory default settings. In other words, the Router will revert to its

original factory configuration.
