Netgear JWNR2000v2 - Wireless-N 300 Router Manual Do Utilizador

LAN Setup Screen Fields

Device Name. The device name is a user-friendly name for the router. This name is shown in 

the Network on Windows Vista and the Network Explorer on all Windows systems. The 
Device Name field cannot be blank. The default name is JWNR2000v2.

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 
have to 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. The 
default setting is Both. 

When set to 

Both or Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table periodically. 

When set to 

Both or In Only, the router incorporates the RIP information that it 

receives. 

When set to 

None, the router does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP 

packets received. 

RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets 

that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for 
RIP-1.

RIP-1. This version is universally supported. It is probably adequate for most 

networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. 

RIP-2. This version carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the 

routing data in RIP-2 format. 

RIP-2B. This version uses subnet broadcasting. 

RIP-2M. This version uses multicasting.

Use Router as a DHCP Server. By default, the router functions as a DHCP server, allowing 

it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the 
router’s LAN. See 

70.

Address Reservation. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, 

that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP 
server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require 
permanent IP settings. See 

Use the Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the router functions as a DHCP 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. The router assigns IP addresses to
