Identification
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your ISP requests that you use a particular
Hostname, enter it here.
If your ISP provided a Domain Name, enter it here. Otherwise, this may be left blank.
The WAN Port MAC address is a low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port. Normally there is no need to
change this, but some ISPs require a particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into this field, the Default button to insert the
default value, or enter a value directly.
IP Address
The Dynamic IP Address is the default setting, and the most common. Leave this selected if your ISP allocates an
IP Address to the DRG600-WiFi upon connection.
The Static IP Address is to be selected if your ISP has allocated you a fixed IP Address. If this option is selected, the
following data must be entered.
• IP Address: The IP Address allocated by the ISP.
• Network Mask: This is also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the IP Address above.
• Gateway IP Address: The address of the router or gateway, as supplied by your ISP. This information is
also supplied by your ISP. It must be compatible with the IP Address above.
