Setup

Linksys

Network

Go to the Configuration > Setup > Network page to set up your LAN, WAN

(Internet connections), and DMZ interface.

NOTE:

Remember to click Save before leaving the page. You can also click Cancel

to undo the changes.

Host Name and Domain Name

Though this configuration is not necessary in most environments, some ISPs in

some countries may require it.

Host Name:

Keep the default setting or enter a host name

specified by your ISP.

Domain Name

:

Keep the default setting or enter a domain name

specified by your ISP.

IP Mode

Choose the type of addressing to use on your network:

IPv4 Only:

Use only IPv4 addressing.

Dual-Stack IP:

Use IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. After you enable this

option, you can configure both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses

for LAN, WAN, and DMZ settings on this page.

LAN Setting (Device IP address and subnets)

Changing the device IP address

Enter the following information:

For IPv4:

Click the IPv4 tab, and then enter the Device IP Address

and Subnet Mask. The default configuration is 192.168.1.1

and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. It can be

changed according to the actual network structure.

For IPv6:

Users have to enable Dual-Stack IP in the IP mode section

in advance to configure IPv6. Then click the IPv6 tab, and

then enter the IPv6 Address and the Prefix Length. The

default IP address is fc00::1, and the default prefix length

is 7. It can be changed according to the actual network

structure.

NOTE:

To configure global IPv6 prefixes for your LAN devices, go to the

WAN Setting, click the IPv6 tab, and click Edit for the WAN interface.

Then enter the LAN IPv6 Address. For more information, see WAN

Setting (Internet connection).

NOTE:

Remember to click Save before leaving the page. You can also click

Cancel to undo the changes.

NOTE:

A pop-up confirmation message will appear to remind you to log

in to the user Web GUI with the new device IP address. Click OK to

confirm the change, or click Cancel to leave without applying the

changes.

Multiple Subnet Setting (IPv4 only)

This function enables users to add IP segments that differ from the router

network segment to the multi-net segment configuration. The Internet will

then be directly accessible.

Add a VLAN:

Click the button to add a new VLAN. The router

supports up to 5 VLANs. In other words, you can

add another 4 new VLANs.

Add a Subnet for

Outbound NATing:

1. Click the button and a pop-up window will

appear.

2. Check “Add Local Subnet” or “Add Adjacent

subnet (where you have another router to reach

this subnet)” to identify the type of subnet.

3. Enter a LAN IP address and a Subnet Mask. The

IP address and subnet mask will appear in the list.

Repeat this step as needed to add more subnets.

4. You can also modify an existing subnet by clicking

the edit icon.

5. Click the trash can icon to delete the subnet.

WAN Setting/ DMZ Setting

(Internet connection & DMZ)

To set the WAN port to link to the Internet, refer to the configuration information

provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). The WAN setting table shows

WAN and DMZ ports of the router. You can configure the WAN/DMZ port for

use as a DMZ.

WAN Setting

NOTE:

Remember to click Save before leaving the page. You can also click

Cancel to undo the changes.

Interface:

An indication of which port is connected.

WAN

Connection Type:

Obtain an IP automatically, Static IP, PPPoE (Point-

to-Point Protocol over Ethernet), PPTP (Point-to-

Point Tunneling Protocol) and Transparent Bridge.

Config.:

A modification in an advanced configuration. Click

Edit to enter the advanced configuration page.

Obtain an IP Automatically:

This mode is often used in the connection mode to obtain an automatic DHCP

IP. This is the device system default connection mode. It is a connection mode

in which DHCP clients obtain an IP address automatically. To use a different

connection mode, refer to the following instructions for selection of appropriate

configurations. Users can also set up their own DNS IP address. Check the

options and input the user-defined DNS IP addresses.

Use

the

following

DNS

Server Addresses:

Select a user-defined DNS server IP address.

DNS Server:

Input the DNS IP address set by ISP. At least

one IP group should be input. The maximum

number of acceptable groups is two.

MTU(MaximumTransmission

Unit)

Choose Auto or Manual. Default is Auto. The

default value is 1500. Different value could be

set in different network environment (e.g., ADSL

PPPoE MTU: 1492).

Static IP:

If an ISP issues a static IP (such as one IP or eight IP addresses, etc.), please select

this connection mode and follow the steps below to input the IP numbers

issued by an ISP into the relevant boxes.

Specify WAN IP address:

Input the available static IP address issued by

your ISP.

Subnet Mask:

Input the subnet mask of the static IP address

issued by ISP, such as:

Issued eight static IP addresses: 255.255.255.248

Issued 16 static IP addresses: 255.255.255.240

Default Gateway:

Input the default gateway issued by ISP. For

ADSL users, it is usually an ATU-R IP address.

Optical fiber users should input the optical fiber

switching IP.

DNS Server:

Input the DNS IP address issued by your ISP.

At least one IP group should be input. The

maximum number of acceptable groups is two.

MTU

(Maximum

Transmission

Unit):

Choose “Auto” or “Manual.” Default is “Auto.” The

default value is 1500. Different value could be

set in different network environment (e.g., ADSL

PPPoE MTU: 1492).

PPPoE:

This option is for an ADSL virtual dial-up connection (suitable for ADSL PPPoE).

User Name:

Input the user name issued by your ISP.

Password:

Input the password issued by your ISP.

Connect on Demand:

This function enables the auto-dialing function

in a PPPoE dial connection. When the client port

attempts to connect with the Internet, the device

will automatically make a dial connection. If the

line has been idle for a period of time, the system

will break the connection automatically. (The

default time for automatic disconnection from no

packet transmissions is five minutes).

Keep Alive:

This function enables the PPPoE dial connection to

keep connected, and to automatically redial if the

line is disconnected. It also enables a user to set

up a time for redialing. The default is 30 seconds.

Use the following DNS

Server Addresses:

Select a user-defined DNS server IP address.

DNS Server:

Input the DNS IP address set by ISP. At least one IP

group should be input. The maximum number of

acceptable groups is two.

MTU (Maximum

Transmission Unit)

Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. Default is “Auto.” The

default value is 1500. Different value could be

set in different network environment (e.g., ADSL

PPPoE MTU: 1492).

PPTP:

Specify WAN

IP Address:

The IP address to be configured could be one

issued by your ISP. (The IP address is usually

provided by the ISP when the PC is installed.

Contact your ISP for relevant information).

Subnet Mask:

Input the subnet mask of the static IP address

issued by your ISP, such as:

Issued eight static IP addresses: 255.255.255.248

Issued 16 static IP addresses: 255.255.255.240

Default Gateway:

Input the default gateway of the static IP address

issued by your ISP. For ADSL users, it is usually an

ATU-R IP address.

User Name:

Input the user name issued by your ISP.

Password:

Input the password issued by your ISP.

Connect on Demand:

This function enables the auto-dialing function

to be used for a PPTP dial connection. When the

client port attempts to connect with the Internet,

the device will automatically connect with the

default ISP auto dial connection. When the

network has been idle for a period of time, the

system will break the connection automatically.

(The default time for automatic break off when no

packets have been transmitted is five minutes).

Keep Alive:

This function enables the PPTP dial connection

to redial automatically when the connection has

been disconnected. Users can set up the redialing

time. The default is 30 seconds.

MTU:

Choose “Auto” or “Manual”. Default is “Auto.” The

default value is 1500. Different value could be

set in different network environment (e.g., ADSL
