WR1500 4-Port Wireless DSL/Cable Router

5.3 DHCP Setup

DHCP (Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients

to obtain TCP/IP conﬁ guration at start-up from a server. You can conﬁ gure the WR1500

Wireless Router as a DHCP server or disable it. When conﬁ gured as a server, the WR1500

Wireless Router provides the TCP/IP conﬁ guration for the clients. If set to None, DHCP service

will be disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer

must be manually conﬁ gured.

5.4 Factory LAN Defaults

The LAN parameters of the WR1500 Wireless Router are preset in the factory with the following

values:

• IP address of 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits).

• DHCP server enabled with 8 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.

IP Pool Setup

The WR1500 Wireless Router is pre-conﬁ gured with a pool of 8 IP addresses starting from

192.168.1.33 to 192.168.1.64. This conﬁ guration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the WR1500

Wireless Router itself) in the lower range for other server computers, for instance, servers for

mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have.

These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS

server address(es), read the embedded Web Conﬁ guration Utility help regarding what ﬁ elds need

to be conﬁ gured.

5.5 RIP Setup

RIP (Routing Information Protocol, RFC 1058 and RFC 1389) allows a router to exchange routing

information with other routers. RIP Direction controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets.

When set to:

1. Both - the WR1500 Wireless Router will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP

information that it receives.

2. In Only - the WR1500 Wireless Router will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP

packets received.

3. Out Only - the WR1500 Wireless Router will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP

packets received.

4. None - the WR1500 Wireless Router will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP

packets received.

RIP Version controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the

WR1500 Wireless Router sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally

supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks,

unless you have an unusual network topology.

Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B

uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting. Multicasting can reduce the load on

non-router machines since they generally do not listen to the RIP multicast address and so will

not receive the RIP packets. However, if one router uses multicasting, then all routers on your

network must use multicasting, also.

By default, RIP Direction is set to Both and RIP Version to RIP-1.
