TCP/IP
IP Address IP address for the Wireless Router, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Network
Mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment to which the Wireless Router is attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.
DHCP
Server
  • If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
  • If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to treat the Wireless Router as the Gateway.
  • The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported.

Buttons
Save Save any changes you have made. Note that if you change the Wireless Router's IP address, your connection will be lost. You will have to re-connect using the new IP address.
Cancel The "Cancel" button will discard any data you have entered since the last "Save" operation.
