Manage the Router Information Protocol Settings
Router Information Protocol (RIP) lets the modem router exchange routing information with other routers. By default,
RIP is enabled in both directions (in and out) without a particular RIP version.
To manage the RIP settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.

This is the default setting.
•
Out Only
. The modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not incorporate the RIP
information that it receives.
•
In Only
.The modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives but does not broadcast its routing
table.
6.
From the
RIP Version
menu, select an RIP version:
•
Disabled
. The RIP version is disabled. This is the default setting.
•
RIP-1
.This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you are using an unusual

•
RIP-2
.This format 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.

Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool
By default, the modem router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The modem router
assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN and WiFi
network. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP address. The default
DHCP address pool is 192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range that you define
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
•
DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Enter
.
A login window opens.
3.
Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.

This IP address must be in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the ending IP address is
192.168.1.254.
