Specify the range of IP addresses that the
modem router
assigns:
In the
Single/Start IP Address
field, enter the lowest number in the range.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the
modem router
. By default, the starting IP
address is 192.168.0.2.
In the
Finish IP Address
field, enter the number at the end of the range of IP addresses.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the
modem router
. By default, the ending IP address
is 192.168.0.254.

Disable the Built-In DHCP Server
By default, the
modem router
functions as a DHCP server. The
modem router
assigns IP, DNS server,
and default gateway addresses to all devices connected to the LAN.The assigned default gateway address
is the LAN address of the
modem router
.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network settings of all
your computers.
If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available on your
network, you must set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access
the
modem router
.
Note
To disable the built-in DHCP server:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.

Set Up and Manage Custom Static Routes
Static routes provide detailed routing information to your
modem router
.Typically, you do not need to add
static routes.You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as when you use multiple
routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
Your primary Internet access is through an ADSL modem to an ISP.
You use an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed.
This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your
modem router
, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the gateway and a second static route was created to your local network for all
192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0
network, your
modem router
forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the
company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case, you must define a static route, instructing your
modem router
that 134.177.0.0 is accessed
through the ISDN
modem router
at 192.168.0.100. Here is an example:
Through the destination IP address and IP subnet mask, specify that this static route applies to all
134.177.x.x addresses.
Through the gateway IP address, specify that all traffic for these addresses is forwarded to the ISDN
modem router
at 192.168.0.100.
A metric value of 1 works fine because the ISDN
modem router
is on the LAN.
Set Up a Static Route
You can add a static route to a destination IP address and specify the subnet mask, gateway IP address,
and metric.
To set up a static route:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the
modem router

A private static route is not reported in RIP.
8.
To prevent the route from becoming active after you click the
Apply
button, clear the
Active
check
box.
In some situations, you might want to set up a static route but keep it disabled until a later time. By
default, the
Active
check box is selected and a route becomes active after you click the
Apply
button.
9.
Enter the settings as described in the following table.
Description
Field
Enter the IP address for the final destination of the route.
Destination IP Address
Enter the IP subnet mask for the final destination of the route.
IP Subnet Mask
If the destination is a single host, enter
255.255.255.255
.

Description
Field
Enter the IP address of the gateway.
Gateway IP Address
The IP address of the gateway must be on the same LAN segment as
the
modem router
.
Enter a number from 1 through 15.
Metric
This value represents the number of routers between your network and
the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct
connection, set it to
1
.
