LAN Setup Screen Settings
LAN TCP/IP Setup
• IP Address. The LAN IP address of the WiFi modem router.
• IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the WiFi modem router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to
it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or WiFi modem router.
• RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the WiFi modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By
default, the RIP function is disabled.
- RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an
unusual network setup.
- RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Use Router as a DHCP Server
This check box is selected so that the WiFi modem router functions as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the WiFi modem router.
• Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the WiFi modem router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the WiFi modem router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the WiFi modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS
server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the WiFi modem
