NETGEAR Wireless-N Router WNR2000 User Manual Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters These are advanced settings that you might configure if you are a network administrator and your network contains multiple routers. The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server (see "Using the Router as a DHCP Server" on page 4-4). Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. The router's default LAN IP configuration is: • LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1 • Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0 These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this screen. The LAN IP settings are: • IP Address. The LAN IP address of the router. • IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the 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 router. • RIP Direction. RIP allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. - When set to Both or In Only, the router incorporates the RIP information that it receives. - When set to Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table periodically. • RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets sent by the router. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) The default setting is Disabled. - RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is usually adequate unless you have an unusual network setup. - RIP-2B carries more information than RIP-1 and uses subnet broadcasting. - RIP-2M carries more information than RIP-1 and uses multicasting.
