Using the LAN IP Setup
The “LAN Settings” page allows changing the
Router’s LAN IP address as required and configuring
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Configuring Parameters of LAN IP Setup
LAN IP setup parameters are advanced settings that you may require
if you are a network administrator or your network requires a different
IP addressing scheme. The Router is shipped with the default IP
address on the LAN side and with the DHCP server enabled.
Note: If you change the default LAN IP address, you
must use the new LAN IP address to log in.
Setup steps:
Open a Web browser on the computer.
In the address bar of the Web browser, type http://192.168.2.1.
Click “Login” in the upper right corner of the page. The Router
does not ship with a password, so just click “Submit”.
Click on “LAN Settings” in the left column
under the “LAN Setup” heading.

Configure the IP address and subnet mask.
IP Address: The IP address that a LAN user uses to
access the Router. The default IP is 192.168.2.1.
IP Subnet Mask: Subnet mask of the LAN port. You can enter a
different subnet mask according to the actual network status.
Click “Apply”.
Using the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the Router acts as a DHCP server, automatically
assigning IP addresses to comupters in the LAN. Users do not
need to configure TCP/IP protocol paramters such as the IP
address, the subnet mask, the gateway, and the DNS server
information for computers connected to the Router’s LAN.
Setup steps:
Open a Web browser on the computer.
In the address bar of the Web browser, type http://192.168.2.1.
Click “Login” in the upper right corner of the page. The Router
does not ship with a password, so just click “Submit”.
Click on “LAN Settings” in the left column
under the “LAN Setup” heading.
Select the “On” button to use the Router as a DHCP server.
Configure the parameters below.
IP Pool Starting Address/IP Pool Ending Address: Set the starting
and ending IP addresses to specify a pool of IP addresses to be
assigned by the DHCP server. After you set “Starting IP Address/
Ending IP Address”, hosts in the LAN obtain IP addresses that
are in the range of the starting and ending IP addresses.

Lease Time: The valid time for an IP address that is
automatically assigned to a device by the DHCP server to
a host. The DHCP server does not assign the IP address to
other hosts within the specified time. If selecting “Forever”,
you save devices in the LAN with fixed addresses.
Configuring the Local Domain Name
The local domain name is a user-friendly name for your
Router. At the bottom of the “LAN Settings” page, you can
set a local domain name. The default name is Belkin.
There is no need to change this setting unless required.
Configuring Your Internet Connection
Settings related to your Internet service are specified in the
“Connection Type” page under the “Internet WAN” heading.
Select a WAN connection type. Contact your ISP if
you do not know your WAN connection mode.
Dynamic Connection
Cable and fiber customers generally require a dynamic connection.
Setup steps:
Click “Connection Type” in the left column
under the “Internet WAN” heading.

Static Connection
Select Static IP if your ISP provides the IP address, subnet
mask, and information about the gateway and DNS server.
Setup steps:
Click “Connection Type” in the left column
under the “Internet WAN” heading.
Select “Static” in the “Connection Type” page that appears.
Configure the parameters below. These
parameters cannot be left blank.
IP Address: Enter the WAN IP address provided by
the ISP. The parameter must be entered.
Subnet Mask: Enter the WAN subnet mask provided by the ISP. It
varies with the network type. It is usually 255.255.255.0 (Class C).
