(Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network, set your computer IP addresses
manually so that the computers can access the router.
Manage Reserved LAN IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP
address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers
that require permanent IP settings.
Reserve an IP Address
To reserve an IP address:
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 router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.

5.
In the Address Reservation section, click the
Add
button.
The page adjusts.
6.
In the
IP Address
field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.
7.
Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached
Devices page and paste it here.

the computer, or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.

Custom Static Routes
Typically, you do not need to add static routes unless 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 main Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
•
Your home network includes an ISDN router for connecting to the company where you are employed. This
router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.
•
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you set up your 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 192.168.1.x addresses. With this
configuration, if you try to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP.
The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the company firewall is likely to deny
the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router to access 134.177.0.0 through the ISDN router at
192.168.1.100. Here is an example:
•
The
Destination IP Address
and
IP Subnet Mask
fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x
addresses.
•
The
Gateway IP Address
field specifies that all traffic for these addresses will be forwarded to the ISDN router
•
A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN.
•
The
Private
check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
Set Up a Static Route
To set up a static route:
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 router user name and password.
The user name is
admin
.The default password is
password
.The user name and password are case-sensitive.

The Static Routes page displays.
5.
Click the
Add
button.
6.
In the
Route Name
field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only).
7.
So limit access to the LAN only, select the
Private
check box.
If the
Private
check box is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP.
8.
Select the
Active
check box to make this route effective.
9.
Type the IP address of the final destination.
10.
Type the IP subnet mask for this destination.
If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255
.
11.
Type the gateway IP address, which must be on the same LAN segment as the router.
12.
Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.
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
.
13.
Click the
Apply
button.
The static route is added.
