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 connec-
tion. 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 Address Automatically and continue to step 5. If your ISP assigns
you a fixed IP address, click Specify an IP Address and enter the
address into the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address and DNS
fields provided by the ISP.
To enable PPPoE support, choose Enable, and enter your User
Name and Password. If you do enable PPPoE, remember to
remove any existing PPPoE applications already on your comput-
er. (More information on PPPoE can be found on page 17.)
5. When you have properly configured the Setup page, click Apply, then
click Continue.
6. Choose the DHCP tab.
NNoottee::
If you have an existing
DHCP server 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 network.
You can not have two DHCP
servers running on one LAN
at the same time.
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.

The setup page
shown in the graphic
above may differ from
the one seen on your
router.
