The Setup Tab - Basic Setup
Wireless-G VPN Broadband Router
Network Setup
The Network Setup section allows you to change the Router’s local network settings.
Gateway IP
The Router’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. In most cases, you should keep the defaults.
Local IP Address. The default value is 192.168.1.1.
Subnet Mask. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
The Router can be used as your network’s DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which
automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly
recommended that you leave the Router enabled as a DHCP server.
Local DHCP Server. DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your
network, set the Router’s DHCP option to Disabled. If you disable DHCP, assign a static IP address to the Router.
Start IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. This value must be
192.168.1. 2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254, because the default IP address for the Router is
192.168.1.1.
Number of Address. Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses
to. This number cannot be greater than 253. In order to determine the DHCP IP Address range, add the starting IP
address (e.g., 100) to the number of DHCP users.
IP Address Range. The range of DHCP addresses is displayed here.
Time Setting
This is where you set the time for the Router. You can set the time and date manually or automatically.
Manually. Select the date from the Date drop-down menus. Then enter the time in the Time fields.
Automatically. Select your time zone from the Time Zone drop-down menu. If you want to enable the Automatic
Daylight Savings feature, click the Enabled radio button.
When you have finished making changes to the screen, click the Save Settings button to save the changes, or
click the Cancel Changes button to undo your changes.
