Nighthawk DST AC1900 DST Router and DST Adpater Model R7300DST
Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with
other routers.
a. In the RIP Direction menu, select one of the following:
• Both. The DST router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorporates
information that it receives.
• Out Only. The DST router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
• In Only. The DST router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
b. In the RIP Version menu, select one of the following:
• Disabled. This is the default setting.
• RIP-1. This format is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks,
unless your network setup is unusual.
• RIP-2. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the
routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses
multicasting.
8. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
If you changed the LAN IP address of the DST router, you are disconnected when this
change takes effect.
9. To reconnect, close your browser, relaunch it, and log in to the DST router
Specify the IP Addresses That the DST Router Assigns
By default, the DST router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
The DST 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 DST
router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the DST router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the DST router assigns:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window 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 page displays.
