Using the LAN Setup Options
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a
DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
•
LAN IP address:
192.168.1.1
•
Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and
should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN Setup screen.

LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address
The LAN IP address of the wireless router.
IP Subnet Mask
The LAN subnet mask of the wireless 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 wireless router.
RIP Direction
RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a wireless router
to exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the wireless router sends and receives
RIP packets.
Both
is the default.
•
Both
or
Out Only
. The wireless router broadcasts its
routing table periodically.
•
Both
or
In Only
. The wireless router incorporates the RIP
information that it receives.
RIP Version
This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the wireless router sends. It recognizes
both formats when receiving. By default, the RIP function is
disabled.
•
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is 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 Server
For more
information
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the wireless
router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server. See
“Using the Router as a DHCP Server”
on page 5-4
.
Starting IP Address
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless router.
Ending IP Address
Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in
the same subnet as the wireless router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see
“Address
Reservation” on page 5-4
.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on
the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each
time it access the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
