LAN Setup

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 are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing

scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen.

Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected

through the browser, you are disconnected. You will have to open a

new connection to the new IP address and log in again.

1472 Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.)

1468 Used in some DHCP environments.

1460 Usable by AOL if you do not have large email attachments, for example.

1436 Used in PPTP environments or with VPN.
