If you change the IP address of the NBG420N in the screen below, you will
need to log into the NBG420N again using the new IP address.

DESCRIPTION

Get from

DHCP Server

Select this option to allow the NBG420N to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server

on the network. You must connect the WAN port to a device with a DHCP server

enabled (such as a router or gateway). Without a DHCP server the NBG420N will

have no IP address. You need to find out the IP address the DHCP server assigns to

the NBG420N and use that address to log in to the NBG420N again.

User Defined

LAN IP

Select this option to set the NBG420N’s IP address. This setting is selected by

default. Check the IP address is on the same domain as other devices on your

network.

IP Address

Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.1. If

you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.

IP Subnet

Mask

The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your

NBG420N will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that

you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask computed

by the NBG420N.

Gateway IP

Address

Type the IP address of the gateway. The gateway is an immediate neighbor of your

NBG420N that will forward the packet to the destination. In AP Mode, the gateway

must be a router on the same segment as your NBG420N.

DNS Servers

Server

Select From ISP if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information. The field

to the right displays the (read-only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select User-Defined if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS

server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose User-Defined, but leave the

IP address set to 0.0.0.0, User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply. If

you set a second choice to User-Defined, and enter the same IP address, the

second User-Defined changes to None after you click Apply.
Select None if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a

DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.
