–

RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably 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.

By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, 
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to 
the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP 
addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. 
Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See the 
link to 

 in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP 

and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. 

If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the 
network settings of all of your computers, clear the ‘Use router as DHCP server’ check box. 
Otherwise, leave it selected. 

Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP 
Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP 
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 
192.168.0.254, although you may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

•

An IP Address from the range you have defined

•

Subnet Mask

•

Gateway IP Address is the router’s LAN IP address

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.
