The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN and WiFi network. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's LAN IP address. The default DHCP address pool is 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254. The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP: • An IP address from the range that you define • Subnet mask • Gateway IP address (the router's LAN IP address) • DNS server IP address (the router's LAN IP address) To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns: 1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the network. 2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net. A login window opens. 3. Enter the router user name and password. The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive. The BASIC Home page displays. 4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
