Wizard

If you are new to networking and have never configured a router before, click on Wizard and the router will guide you through a few simple steps to get your network up and running.

Local Network

These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) interface for the router. LAN Interface Setup The router's local network (LAN) settings are configured based on the IP Address and Subnet Mask assigned in this section. The IP address is also used to access this Web-based management interface. It is recommended that you use the default settings if you do not have an existing network. IP Address The IP address of your router on the local area network. Your local area network settings are based on the address assigned here. For example, 192.168.0.1. Subnet Mask The subnet mask of your router on the local area network. DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN). DHCP Mode Once your router is properly configured and DHCP Server is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed. IP Pool Range These two IP values (from and to) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically. Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses 192.168.10.101 to 192.168.0.199 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server. Example: Your router uses 192.168.0.1 for the IP address. You've assigned a computer that you want to designate as a Web server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. You've assigned another computer that you want to designate as an FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4. Therefore the starting IP address for your DHCP IP address range needs to be 192.168.0.5 or greater. Example: Suppose you configure the DHCP Server to manage addresses From 192.168.0.100 To 192.168.0.199. This means that 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.0.200 to 192.168.0.254 are NOT managed by the DHCP Server. Computers or devices that use addresses from these ranges are to be manually configured. Default Gateway The default gateway for the dhcp server scope. Max Lease Time The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed then another tenant may use the address. Domain Name Domain name for the dhcp server scope. DNS Servers DNS Server address for the dhcp server scope. DHCP Static IP Configuration If you need to assign static ip for your computer or device on the local area network, configure static ip with the mac address. IP Address The IP address to be configured for your computer or device on the local area network.For example, 192.168.0.2. Mac Address The mac address of your computer or device on the local area network.

If you consider yourself an advanced user and have configured a router before, please input all the settings on this page manually.

IPv6 Setup

IPv6 IPv6 in IPv4 tunneling is the encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets so that IPv6 packets can be sent over an IPv4 infrastructure. IPv6 Connection Type There are several connection types to choose from: Link-local, Static IP v6, DHCPv6, Stateless Autoconfiguration, PPPoE, IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnel and 6to4. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 Internet Service Provider. Note: If using the PPPoE option, you will need to ensure that any PPPoE client software on your computers is removed or disabled. Link-local Mode Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with neighboring nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each other in the LAN side. Static IP v6 Mode Used when your ISP provides you a set IPv6 address that does not change. The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings. You must enter the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all of this information. DHCPv6 Mode A method of connection where the ISP assigns your IPv6 address when your router requests one from the ISP's server. Some ISP's require you to make some settings on your side before your router can connect to the IPv6 Internet. PPPoE Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) connection to IPv6 Internet. DSL providers typically use this option. This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your Internet Service Provider) to gain access to the IPv6 Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP. Dynamic IP: If the ISP's servers assign the router's WAN IPv6 addressing upon establishing a connection, select this option. Static IP : If your ISP has assigned a fixed IPv6 address, select this option. The ISP provides the value for the IPv6 Address. Service Name: Some ISP's may require that you enter a Service Name. Only enter a Service Name if your ISP requires one. Reconnect Mode: Typically PPPoE connections are not always on. The TRENDnet router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are: Always on:A connection to the Internet is always maintained. On demand:A connection to the Internet is made as needed. Manual: You have to open up the Web-based management interface and click the Connect button manually any time that you wish to connect to the Internet. Maximum Idle Time: Time interval the machine can be idle before the WAN link is disconnected. The Maximum Idle Time value is only used for the "On demand" reconnect modes.   IPv6 in IPv4 Tunnel Mode IPv6 in IPv4 tunneling is the encapsulation of IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets so that IPv6 packets can be sent over an IPv4 infrastructure. 6to4 Mode 6to4 is an IPv6 address assignment and automatic tunneling technology that used to provide unicast IPv6 connectivity between IPv6 sites and hosts across the IPv4 Internet. The following options apply to all WAN modes. Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IPv6 addresses of the DNS Servers. Leave the field for the secondary server empty if not used. LAN IPv6 Address Setting These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) IPv6 interface for the router. The router's LAN IPv6 Address is configured based on the IPv6 Address and Subnet assigned by your ISP. (A subnet with prefix /64 is supported in LAN.) LAN Address Autoconfiguration Settings Use this section to setup IPv6 Autoconfiguration to assign IPv6 address to the computers on your local network. A Stateless and a Stateful Autoconfiguration method are provided. Enable Autoconfiguration These two values (from and to) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically. When you selected Stateful (DHCPv6), the following options are displayed. The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCPv6" or "Obtain an IPv6 address automatically". IPv6 Address Range (DHCPv6) Once your Trendnet router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the router will manage the IPv6 addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself. It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an IPv6 address that does reside within this range. IPv6 Address Lifetime The amount of time that a computer may have an IPv6 address before it is required to renew the lease.
