Setup
The Setup screen is the first screen you will see when you access the Utility. If
you have already installed and setup the Router, you have already seen this
screen and have already properly configured all of the screen's values.
• Host Name & Domain Name These fields allow you to supply a host and
domain name for the Router. Some ISPs require these names as identifica-
tion. You may have to check with your ISP to see if your Broadband Internet
service has been configured with a host and domain name. In most cases,
these fields may be left blank.
• Firmware Version This entry shows the version of the firmware you are
using. Future versions of the Router's Firmware may be available on the
Linksys website at www.linksys.com.
• Time Zone Set your local time zone here.
• Device IP Address and Subnet Mask The values for the Router's IP
Address and Subnet Mask are shown here. The default value is 192.168.1.1
for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask. If you change the
Device IP Address, then reboot the computer so the new value takes effect.
• WAN Connection Type The Router supports five connection types: DHCP,
PPPoE, Static IP Address, RAS, and PPTP. Each Setup screen and available
features will differ depending on what kind of connection type you select.
You can test and see if the above settings are correct by successfully con-
necting to the Internet.
DHCP
This is the Router's
default setting, and
it should be used
only if your ISP
supports DHCP.
