4.5 LAN Configuration
The Wireless Broadband Router communicates with the
wired/wireless clients through its LAN port. The LAN configuration
page allows you to define the private IP address and DHCP server
(NAT Routing only) settings over the LAN interface.
u Manual Config
IP Address/Subnet Mask. Enter the IP address and subnet mask
for the Wireless Broadband Router LAN port. All local wired/wireless
devices communicate with the device through this port. It is also the
IP address of the Web-based Configuration Utility. By default, the IP
address and subnet mask of the LAN port is 192.168.1.1 and
255.255.255.0 respectively. Note that if you change the private IP
address and apply the changes, the PC from which you configure
the router will lose the communication to the router. To reconnect,
you will need to renew the IP address of the PC or change to an IP
address compatible with the new LAN port IP address.
u DHCP Server (Router Mode Only)
Services: Select whether to enable DHPC service for LAN and
WLAN. The Wireless Broadband Router implements a built-in
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on its LAN and
WLAN interface, which dynamically assigns IP addresses to the
DHCP clients on the LAN / WLAN. The DHCP server also provides a
default gateway (the router’ s LAN IP address) and DNS addresses
for DHCP clients to access the Internet. DHCP function spares you
the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on
the LAN / WLAN. If you already have a DHCP server on your
network you should disable this function. DHCP server is enabled by
default.
Note
It is not allowed to have two DHCP servers running on one LAN at the
same time. If you decide to enable the DHCP on this router, remember
to disable the DHCP function of the other device.
If DHCP server is enabled, enter the fields below:
