Suggestions for deciding an IP address to be used with this

broadband router

Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this

router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) or wireless connection can communicate with

each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP address.

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP

address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers

will be assigned by router automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use

dynamic IP address, it will save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer,

especially when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network

devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from Internet,

static IP address should be used, so other computes can locate the server.

and can help you to assign IP addresses to your client computers. Almost all network

computers / devices manufactured after year 1995 are compatible with DHCP, and you can
