LAN Setup
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act
as a DHCP server
. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks
and should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a
dif
ferent IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN Setup screen.
To change the LAN settings:

through the browser, you will be disconnected. You will have to open
a new connection to the new IP address and log in again.
