USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
1. IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default
IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the Web-Based Advanced User
Interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser.
This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address,
type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address
you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP
are: 192.168.x.x (where x is anywhere between 0 and 255), and 10.x.x.x
(where x is anything between 0 and 255).
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced
feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask
if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask
unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is
“255.255.255.0”.
3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically.
The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if
necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static
IP address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP
server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4. IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you
want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting
and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP
server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that
you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For
example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not
to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in
number than the ending IP address.
5. Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each
computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”.
The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is
assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not
change for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the
specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s
IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other
advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these
are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the
IP address to change.
6. Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name
(network name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting
unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the
network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
