2.6. Wired LAN Configurations

Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP address.

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from Internet, static IP address should be used, so other computes can locate the server.

WN-350R User’s Manual 68

Page 78

2. System and Network Setup

A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and

and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,

For all servers and network devices which will provide

worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:

If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your

network, here are some suggestions.

1. company users, it’s suggested to use 192 .168.c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1

so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or any number bet ween 1 and 254) , and p ic k a n u mb er b etween 0 and 254 for field ‘c’.

2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as sub net mask, which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s capability of working with up to 253 clients).

3. services to other people (like Internet service, print service, and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.

4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.

If you don’t really understand the descr ip t io ns l ist ed ab o v e, d on’t

Please follow the following instructions to set wired LAN parameters.

Please click ‘LAN’ menu on the left of web management interface, there are three setup groups here: ‘LAN IP’, ‘DHCP Server’, and ‘Static DHCP Leases Table’. Here are setup instructions for each of them.
