LAN - LAN Settings
The Router is shipped pre-configured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP
server. The Router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
LAN IP address: 192.168.62.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should
be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme,
you can make those changes in this screen.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the
network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services
from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
The UPnP feature of the wireless router can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The
default setting for UPnP is enabled. If disabled, the Router will not allow any device to automatically
control the resources of the Router.
LAN - DHCP Setting
By default, the Router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it
to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the Router. The
assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the Router. IP addresses will be assigned to the
attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen.
