3. The Cable/DSL Router’s Setup page will appear.
4. Configure the following values.
Router Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host
and domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as
identification. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your
Broadband Internet service has been configured with a host and domain
name. In most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.
LAN IP Address These values refer to your internal network settings.
Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to
change these values. For the inter-
nal LAN, the default values are as
follows.
• Private IP Address:
192.168.1.1
• Subnet Mask:
255.255.255.0
WAN IP Address These values refer to the outside network you connect to
every time you access your Broadband Internet connection. Most
Broadband ISPs assign their clients with a different IP address each time
they log on. If this is the case with your ISP, click Obtain an IP
NNoottee::
If you have an existing DHCP serv-
er on your LAN and you don’t wish to
use the router as your new DHCP server,
you must assign your router a static IP
address. The router’s IP address must
be compatible with your existing net-
work. You can not have two DHCP
servers running on one LAN at the same
time.
