Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns
By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to
the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range that you have defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the router’
s LAN IP address)
• DNS server IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. In the address field of the web browser
, enter www.routerlogin.net or
www
.routerlogin.com.
A login screen displays.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin.
The default password is password.
The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
