LAN TCP/IP
Setup

IP Address

The LAN IP address of the wireless router.

IP Subnet Mask

The LAN subnet mask of the wireless router. Combined
with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to
know which other addresses are local to it, and which must
be reached through a gateway or wireless router.

RIP Direction

RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a wireless router
to exchange routing information with other routers. This
setting controls how the wireless router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default.
Both or Out Only. The wireless router broadcasts its

routing table periodically.

Both or In Only. The wireless router incorporates the RIP

information that it receives.

RIP Version

This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the
RIP packets that the wireless router sends. It recognizes
both formats when receiving. By default, the RIP function is
disabled.
• RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most

networks, unless you have an unusual network setup.

• RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M

send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses
subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
