The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to function as a DHCP server. 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 are suitable for most applications. If your network requires the use of a different IP addressing scheme, change the LAN Setup screen. genie ADVANCED Home 50
