LAN Group Configuration
LAN Group Configuration allows you to configure settings for each LAN group. Notice that
you can also view the status of advanced services that can be applied to a LAN group.
Green indicates that the service is enabled, while red indicates that the service is
disabled.

Unmanaged
Unmanaged is a state when the LAN group is not
configured and no IP address has been assigned to the
bridge.
Obtain an IP address
automatically
When this function is enabled, your router acts like a
client and requests an IP address from the DHCP server
on the LAN side.
IP Address
You can retrieve/renew an IP address from the DHCP
server using the Release and Renew buttons.
Netmask
The subnet mask of your router.
Page 38 / 90
User Manual
Page 38
of 90
PPP IP Address
Enables/disables PPP unnumbered feature.
IP Address
The IP address should be different but within the same
subnet as the WAN-side IP address.
Use the following Static IP
address
This field enables you to change the IP address of the
router.
IP Address
The default IP address of the router (as shown) is
192.168.1.1.
Netmask
The default subnet mask of your router is 255.255.255.0.
This subnet allows the router to support 254 users. If you
want to support a larger number of users you can
change the subnet mask.
Default Gateway
The default gateway is the routing device used to
forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station
within the local subnet. Your ISP provides you with the
IP address of the default gateway.
Host Name
The host name is used in conjunction with the domain
name to uniquely identify the router. It can be any
alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces.
Domain
The domain name is used in conjunction with the host
name to uniquely identify the router. To access the web
pages of the router you can type 192.168.1.1 (the IP
address) or mygateway1.ar7 (Host Name.Domain).
Enable DHCP Server
Enables/disables DHCP. By default, your router has the
DHCP server (LAN side) enabled. If you already have a
DHCP server running on your network, you must disable
one of the two DHCP servers.
Assign ISP DNS,
SNTP
Enable/disables the Assign ISP DNS, SNTP feature when
the DHCP server of your router has been enabled. To
learn more, please refer to
Assign ISP DNS, SNTP
.
Start IP
The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts
issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the
IP address value of the router. For example, if the IP
address of the router is 192.168.1.1 (default), then the
starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 (or higher).
Note:
Note:
Note:
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure
the values are still within the same subnet as the router.
In other words, if the IP address of the router is
192.168.1.1 (default) and you change the DHCP
start/end IP addresses to be
192.168.1.2/192.168.1.100, you cannot communicate
Page 39 / 90
User Manual
Page 39
of 90
with the router if your host has DHCP enabled.
End IP
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops
issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed
a subnet limit of 254; hence the max value for the
default gateway is 192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server
runs out of DHCP addresses, users do not get access to
network resources. If this happens, you can increase the
Ending IP address (to the limit of 254) or reduce the
lease time.
Note:
Note:
Note:
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure
the values are still within the same subnet as the IP
address of the router. In other words, if the IP address of
the router is 192.168.1.1 (default) and you change the
DHCP start/end IP addresses to be
192.168.1.2/192.168.1.100, you cannot communicate
with the router if your host has DHCP enabled.
Lease Time
The Lease Time is the amount of time that a network
user is allowed to maintain a network connection to the
router using the current dynamic IP address. At the end
of the Lease Time, the lease is either renewed or the
DHCP server issues a new IP. The amount of time is in
units of seconds. The default value is 3600 seconds (1
hour). The maximum value is 999999 seconds
(About 278 hours).
Enable DHCP Relay
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the router
supports the DHCP relay function. When the router is
configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to
the LAN clients. When the gateway is configured as
DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests
and responses negotiated between the DHCP clients and
the server.
Relay IP
The IP address of the DHCP relay server.
Server and Relay Off
When the DHCP server and relay functions are turned
off, the network administrator must carefully configure
the IP address, Subnet Mask, and DNS settings of every
host on your network. Do not assign the same IP address
to more than one host. Also, your router must reside on
the same subnet as all the other hosts.

Assign ISP DNS, SNTP
When you enable the DHCP server, the router dynamically assigns IP addresses to
computers in the local network. The router provides its own LAN IP address (192.168.1.1)
as both the gateway and the DNS server.
The router has a choice of advertising its own IP address (192.168.1.1) as the DNS server
or providing the DNS that was received from the WAN. This can be configured by
enabling/disabling Assign ISP DNS SNTP
Assign ISP DNS SNTP
Assign ISP DNS SNTP
Assign ISP DNS SNTP on the LAN Group Configuration
LAN Group Configuration
LAN Group Configuration
LAN Group Configuration page.
Note:
Note:
Note:
Note:
ISP DNS, SNTP only applies when the DHCP server is enabled on the LAN Group Configuration
page.
LAN Clients
LAN Clients allows you to view and add computers in a LAN group. Each computer either
has a dynamic or static (manually-configured) IP address.
You can add a static IP address (belonging to the router’s LAN subnet) using the LAN
Clients page. Any existing static entry falling within the DHCP server's range can be
deleted.
