4.5.2.1 Static IP address assignment
Your router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1 and 255.255.255.0. This allows the router to
support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users, you can change the subnet mask, but the
DHCP server will still by default give out only 255 IP addresses. Remember that if you change your router’s
IP address and you have DHCP enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same subnet
The default router is the routing device used to forward all traffic that is not addressed to a station within the
local subnet. Your ISP will provide you with the default router address. Figure 12 shows a default router
address of 10.247.16.1 because this was the default router defined when the CLIP connection was configured.
The hostname can be any alphanumeric word that does not contain spaces. The domain name is used to in
conjunction with the host name to uniquely identify the router. To access the router’s web pages the user can
type 192.168.1.1 (the router’s default IP address) or type mygateway.ar7.
