5.6.5 LAN Configuration
You can change the ADSL Router’s IP address by, clicking Setup and under LAN Setup, select LAN
Configuration, then click Configure.
Your ADSL Router’s default IP address and subnet mask are 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0; this subnet
mask will allow the ADSL Router to support 254 users. If you want to support a larger number of users
you can change the subnet mask; but remember. The DHCP server is defaulted to only give out 255 IP
addresses. Further remember that if you change your gateways’ IP address and you have DHCP
enabled, the DHCP configuration must reside within the same subnet The default gateway 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 gateway Address.
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 gateway. To access the ADSL Router’s web
pages the user can type 192.168.1.1 (the default IP address) or type mygateway.ar7. The apply button
will temporarily save this connection. To make the change permanent you need to click on Save Settings
(at the side of the page). At the system commands page, click on Save All.
