IP Address

The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router� The default IP address is “192�168�2�1”� To access the advanced setup interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser� This address can be changed if needed� To change the IP address, type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”� The IP address you choose should be a non-routable IP� Examples of a non-routable IP are:

192�168�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255) 10�x�x�x (where x is anything between 0 and 255)

Subnet Mask

There is no need to change the subnet mask� This is a unique, advanced feature of your Belkin Router�

DHCP Server

The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically� The default setting is “On”� The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so, you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network� To turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”�

G Wirel ess Modem Ro uter

IP Pool

The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on your network� If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”� The starting IP address must be lower in number than the ending IP address�

Lease Time

The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer� We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”� The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer� Setting lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the specified period of time� This also means that a particular computer’s IP address may change over time� If you have set any of the other advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP address� For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change�

Local Domain Name

You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network� There is no need to change this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so� You can name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”�
