IP Address

The IP address of the LAN interface. The default IP address is

192.168.0.1.

Subnet Mask

The subnet mask of the LAN interface. The default subnet

mask is 255.255.255.0.

Local Domain Name

This entry is for the local Domain set on your network, if you

have given it a name previously. This field is for your personal

use and unnecessary for proper configuration of this window.

DNS Relay

The Router can be configured to relay DNS from your ISP or

another available service to workstations on your LAN. When

using DNS relay, the Router will accept DNS requests from

hosts on the LAN and forward them to the ISP (or alternative)

DNS servers. DNS relay can use auto discovery or the DNS IP

address can be manually entered by the user. Alternatively, you

may also disable the DNS relay and configure hosts on your

LAN to use DNS servers directly. Most users who are using the

Router for DHCP service on the LAN and are using DNS

servers on the ISP’s network, will leave DNS relay enabled

(either auto discovery or user configured).

LAN is short for Local

Area Network. This is

considered your

internal network.

These are the IP

settings of the LAN

interface for the

DI-524UP and may be

referred to as Private

settings. You may

change the LAN IP

address if needed.

The LAN IP address is

private to your internal

network and cannot be

seen on the Internet.
