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). |
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 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). When disabled, all DHCP clients will
receive the DNS IP addresses of the ISP. 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. |
