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”�
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”�
