These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-designated private address
range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has
a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.
Figure 7-2:
LAN IP Setup Menu
The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:
•
IP Address
This is the LAN IP address of the router.
•
IP Subnet Mask
This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask
allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached
through a gateway or router.
•
RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other
routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Router sends and receives RIP packets.
Both is the default.
—
When set to Both or Out Only, the router will broadcast its routing table periodically.
—
When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
—
When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets
received.

RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends.
It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1.
—
RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you
have an unusual network setup.
—
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2
format.
—
RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.
—
RIP-2M uses multicasting.
DHCP
By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to
the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP
addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu.
Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See
“IP
Configuration by DHCP”on page B-9
for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to
assign IP addresses for your network.
Use Router as DHCP server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the ‘Use router as DHCP server’ check box.
Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP
Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
Note:
If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP
address and log in again.

An IP Address from the range you have defined
•
Subnet Mask
•
Gateway IP Address is the router’s LAN IP address
•
Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address
•
Secondary DNS Server, if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu
•
WINS Server, short for
Windows Internet Naming Service Server,
determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of
names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote
network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your PCs
to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always
receive the same IP address each time it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses
should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1.
Click the
Add
button.
2.
In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.
3.
Type the MAC Address of the computer or server.
Tip:
If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from
the Attached Devices menu and paste it here.
4.
Click
Apply
to enter the reserved address into the table.
Note:
The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer contacts the
router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP
release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1.
Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete.
2.
Click Edit or Delete.

Configuring Dynamic DNS
If your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have
that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your
Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your
IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial
dynamic DNS service that will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will
forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently-changing IP address.

The router contains a client that can connect to a dynamic DNS service provider. To use this
feature, you must select a service provider and obtain an account with them. After you have
configured your account information in the router, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address
changes, your router will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your
account, and register your new IP address.
How to Configure Dynamic DNS
1.
Log in to the router at its default LAN address of
with its default User Name
of
admin
, default password of
password
, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN
address you have chosen for the router.
2.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, select Dynamic DNS to
display the page below.
Figure 7-4:
Dynamic DNS menu
3.
Access the Web site of one of the dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the
‘Service Provider’ box, and register for an account.
For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.
4.
Select the “Use a dynamic DNS service” check box.
5.
Select the name of your dynamic DNS Service Provider.
6.
Type the Host Name that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
The dynamic DNS service provider may call this the domain name. If your URL is
myName.dyndns.org, then your Host Name is “myName.”
