Services

LAN DHCP Settings

Click on “LAN Services” to access this screen. Your Router allows you to
specify an internal IP address. You may also turn the DHCP service on
and off. We recommend using DHCP service for the easiest setup of your
network. Making changes to this screen will require you to re-configure
your networked PC's.

NAT Enable/Disable

Network Address Translation (NAT) is used for security by making your
internal network invisible to the Internet. We recommend that you leave
NAT enabled for security reasons.

Set Time Zone

If you are using any of the time-based functions of the Router such as
Client Filtering, you will need to set the time zone you reside in for the
function to work properly. Your Router automatically obtains the correct
time from the Internet by using SNTP (Simple Network Time Protocol).
There are many servers on the Internet which get the time from the atomic
clock. The time is then broadcast over the Internet from these servers and
then is received by your Router. You do not need to set the clock.

Change Password

The Router ships without a set password. It is not necessary to enter a
password. If you choose not to use a password, leave the space blank. If
you do choose to enter a password, be sure to write it down in a safe
place. To set a password, enter it into the "New Password" field and
confirm it in the next field. To change your password, enter your existing
password and then enter the new password twice. If you forget your
password, you can perform a manual reset of the router by pressing and
holding the reset button for 5 seconds. When you release the button, the
power light will begin flashing. Reset is done on the back of the Router.
