Host Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and

domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as identifi-

Internet service has been configured with a host and domain name. In
most cases, leaving these fields blank will work.

LAN IP Address These values refer to your internal network settings.

Unless you have specific internal needs, there should be no reason to
change these values. For the internal LAN, the default values are as fol-
lows.

• Private IP Address:

192.168.1.1

• Subnet Mask:

255.255.255.0

Encryption and configure the level of WEP Encryption. WEP
Encryption is not necessary for the operation of your Router. For more
information, see the section of this guide called Setting WEP

WAN IP Address These values refer to the outside network you connect to

every time you access your Broadband Internet connection. Most

they log on. If this is the case with your ISP, click Obtain an IP
Address Automatically and continue to step 5. If your ISP assigns you a
fixed IP address, click Specify an IP Address and enter the address into
the Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address and DNS fields provided
by the ISP.
