Link: Wireless Scan

Your device automatically checks for the best channel to broadcast wireless services. However, in some cases it

may be useful to switch to a different channel (1 through 11, for North America) on which the network will broad-

cast.

This is a frequency range within the 2.4Ghz band. Channel selection depends on government regulated radio fre-

quencies that vary from region to region. Channel selection can have a significant impact on performance,

depending on other wireless activity close to this device. You need not select a channel at any of the computers on

your wireless network. They will automatically scan available channels seeking a wireless device broadcasting on

the SSID for which they are configured.

This scan will disconnect any wireless client devices from the wireless network.

If you want to scan for a different channel on which the device will broadcast, click the

Continue

button.

Link: Subnets & DHCP

When you click the

Subnets & DHCP

link, the

Subnets & DHCP

page appears.

The Server configuration determines the functionality of your DHCP Settings. This functionality enables the Gate-

way to assign your LAN computer(s) a “private” IP address and other parameters that allow network communica-

tion. This feature simplifies network administration because the Gateway maintains a list of IP address

assignments. Additional computers can be added to your LAN without the hassle of configuring an IP address.

This is the default mode for your Gateway.

Private LAN Subnet

◆

Device IPv4 Address:

The IP address of your Gateway as seen from the LAN

◆

Subnet Mask:

Subnet mask of your LAN

◆

DHCPv4 Start Address:

First IP address in the range being served to your LAN by the Gateway's DHCP

server

◆

DHCPv4 End Address:

Last IP address in the range being served to your LAN by the Gateway's DHCP

server

Public Subnet

◆

Public Subnet Enable

: If you select On from the pull-down menu, you can enable a second subnet to distrib-

ute public addresses to DHCP clients; this means that IP addresses assigned to LAN clients will be public

addresses

◆

Public IPv4 Address

: The IP address of your Gateway as seen from the WAN

◆

Public Subnet Mask

: Public subnet mask

◆

DHCPv4 Start Address

: First IP address in the range being served from a DHCP public pool.

◆

DHCPv4 End Address

: Last IP address in the range being served from a DHCP public pool.

◆

Primary DHCP Pool

: Choose the source of the DHCP pool IP address assignment by selecting either the

Pri-

vate

(local to your LAN) or

Public

(assigned remotely) radio button.

Cascaded Router

◆

Cascaded Router Enable

: If you have another router behind this Gateway, choose

On

from the pull-down

menu.

◆

Cascaded Router Address

: If you chose On from the pull-down menu, enter the IP address of the router you

are using behind this Gateway in the LAN Private IP subnet range.

◆

Network Address

: If you chose On from the pull-down menu, enter the Network Address that defines the

range of IP addresses available to clients of the router you are using behind this Gateway.

◆

Subnet Mask

: If you chose On from the pull-down menu, enter the subnet mask for the Network Address that

defines the range of IP addresses available to clients of the router you are using behind this Gateway.

DHCP

◆

DHCP Lease

: Specifies the default length for DHCP leases issued by the Router. Enter lease time in

dd:hh:mm:ss (days/hours/minutes/seconds) format.

If you make any changes here, click the

Save

button, and if prompted, restart the Gateway.
