LAN Setting

This page allows you to define the IP address over the LAN interface.

IP Address:

Allows you to specify the private IP address on the device’s LAN interface.

By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. It is

recommended NOT to change the default settings.

Note

If you have changed the LAN IP address, you will need to correspondingly change the

IP address of the DHCP server as well as its pool address range. If you didn’t do that,

the DHCP client will not be able to access the router.

Enable Network Address Translation (NAT): If you apply for only one public IP address

from your ISP and the multiple client PCs need to access the Internet, you should enable NAT

function. NAT translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address, either a static

or dynamic one. By default, the NAT function is enabled.

DHCP Server: Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP function. DHCP server is enabled

by default. When you instruct the router to act as a DHCP server, it assigns dynamic IP

addresses to your PCs (DHCP clients) whenever they request for IP information. The DHCP

server “leases” the IP addresses from a defined pool for a specified amount of time to the PCs.

DHCP helps system administrators to centrally manage the assignment and distribution of IP

information to PCs on the LAN.
