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 neede d. 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 any thing 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 Ser ver
The DHCP ser ver 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 “Foreve r”, meaning that any time a computer is
assigned an IP addre ss 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 free s IP addresses after the
specified period of time. T his 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 set ting unless you have a specific
advanced need to do so. You can name the network anything you want
such as “MY NETWORK”.

list. If there have been any changes, the list will be updated.
Internet WAN
The “Internet WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to your Internet Ser vice Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting
to virtually any ADSL service provider’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s settings for your ISP’s connection t ype. Your
connection settings are provided to you by your ISP.
To configure the Router with the settings that your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type” (1) on the left side of the screen. Select the connection type
you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings, clicking “DNS” (2) allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that require specific set tings. When
you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status” indicator will read “Connected” if your Router is set up properly.
