1. IP Address
The “IP address” is the internal IP address of the Router. The default
IP address is “192.168.2.1”. To access the Web-Based Advanced User
Interface, type this IP address into the address bar of your browser.
This address can be changed if needed. To change the IP address,
type in the new IP address and click “Apply Changes”. The IP address
you choose should be a non-routable IP. Examples of a non-routable IP
are: 192.168.x.x (where x is anywhere between 0 and 255), and 10.x.x.x
(where x is anything between 0 and 255).
2. Subnet Mask
There is no need to change the subnet mask. This is a unique, advanced
feature of your Belkin Router. It is possible to change the subnet mask
if necessary; however, do NOT make changes to the subnet mask
unless you have a specific reason to do so. The default setting is
“255.255.255.0”.
3. DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically.
The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if
necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP
address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server,
select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4. IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you
want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting and
ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP server
can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that you cannot
specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For example,
starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not to exceed
the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in number than
the ending IP address.
