Chapter 5: Configuring the Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router

Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The SETUP Tab - BASIC SETUP - Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address, then select Static IP.
Internet Connection Type
Internet IP Address. This is the IP address that the Router has when seen from the Internet. Your ISP will provide
you with the IP address you need to specify here.
Subnet Mask. This is the Router’s Subnet Mask, as seen by external users on the Internet (including your ISP).
Your ISP will provide you with the Subnet Mask.
Gateway. Your ISP will provide you with the Gateway Address.
Static DNS 1-3. The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. You can enter up to
three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server. The Router can be used as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for your network.
A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on your network. Unless you already have
one, it is highly recommended that you leave the Router enabled as a DHCP server. DHCP is enabled by factory
default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, set the Router’s DHCP option to Disable.
Starting IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
default IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1. 2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.1.254. The default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users (Optional). Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server
to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50.
Client Lease Time. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new
dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
IP Address Range. The IP Address Range is Static and cannot be changed.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click SAVE SETTINGS to save the changes, or click
