LAN Setup
The LAN Setup page allows you to configure the LAN interface of the router. Most users can use the default settings.
LAN TCP/IP Setup
Configure the LAN by typing in the IP address and the Subnet Mask in the respective IP Address and Subnet Mask fields. The IP address provided is the router's LAN IP address.

NOTE: If you change the LAN IP address of the router, the browser will not respond when you “Apply” changes. You must use the new IP address to connect to the web management interface of the router. For example, if you change the LAN TCP/IP address from 192.168.1.1 (default) to 10.0.0.1, you must change the IP address of your computer (or release and renew IP address if connected via DHCP) so that it is in the 10.0.0.0 subnet and then type http://10.0.0.1/ in your browser to connect to the web management interface.
DHCP
By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, providing TCP/IP configuration to computers connected to the router's LAN network.
If the computers on the LAN are configured with static IP addresses or are configured to use another DHCP server, select the Disable DHCP option.
To use the router as a DHCP server, select DHCP Server and configure the following items:
Domain Name: Name of the domain (Optional)
Starting IP Address: First IP address in the range. Any new DHCP client joining the LAN will be assigned an IP address between this address and the Ending IP Address.
Ending IP Address: Last IP address in the range. Any new DHCP client joining the LAN will be assigned an IP address between the Starting IP Address and this IP address.
Note: The Starting and Ending DHCP addresses should be in the same “network” as the LAN TCP/IP address of the router (the IP Address field in LAN TCP/IP Setup section).
Primary DNS Server: primary DNS Server IP.
Secondary DNS Server: Secondary DNS Server IP.
WINS Server: IP address of a WINS server (Optional). The Windows Internet Naming Service is the equivalent of a DNS server but uses the NetBIOS protocol to resolve hostnames. If the network consists only of Windows based computers and you would like to use a WINS server for name resolution, then enter the IP address of the WINS server. The router will include the WINS server IP address in the DHCP configuration when acknowledging a DHCP request from a DHCP client.
Lease Time: Duration (in hours) for which IP addresses will be leased to clients.
Enable LDAP information: Please check this box to configure the DHCP server in to provide LDAP server information.
LDAP Server: Specify the name/IP of the hostname hosting the LDAP server.
e.g example.com
Search Base: specify the search base.
e.g dc=example,dc=com
Port: specify the port number the LDAP server is running. leave it blank for default.
DHCP Relay:
Select to make the box as a dhcp relay agent. Please specify the Ip of the DHCP Relay Gateway against Relay Gateway.
Advanced Settings
Enable DNS Proxy: When enabled, the router will act as a proxy for all DNS requests and communicate with the ISP’s DNS servers (as configured in the WAN settings page). All DHCP clients will receive the Primary/Secondary DNS IP along with the IP where the DNS Proxy is running, i.e. the router's LAN IP. When disabled, all DHCP clients will receive the DNS IP addresses of the ISP excluding the DNS Proxy IP address. The feature is particularly useful in Auto Rollover mode. For example, if the DNS servers for each connection are different, then a link failure may render the DNS servers inaccessible. However, when the DNS proxy is enabled, then clients can make requests to the router and the router, in turn, sends those requests to the DNS servers of the active connection.
Enable ARP Broadcast: When enabled router will start ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) broadcast on lan. When disabled router will stop ARP broadcast on lan.
Click Apply to save the settings.
Click Reset to discard any changes and revert to the previous settings.
Click Multi Home LAN IPs Setup to setup secondary LAN IP address to the router.
Click DHCP Log to view the DHCP log of the router.
