Step 4-2. For getting IP manually in order to specify a Virtual Server, such as Print Server,
FTP Server and so on, please skip Obtain an IP address automatically and then select Use
the following IP address. And the following default setting of 11n Broadband Router should
be noted:
yIPAddress: 192.168.1.10 (as your Print Server for example)
ySubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
yDefault Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Note:If you configure your computer’s IP Address manually, it needs to be on the same
network segment.
For example:
zIPAddress: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx can be any number between 2 and 253, but it can’t be
repeated, we use 100 to be the example.)
zSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
zGateway: 192.168.1.1 (this is the IP address of 11n Broadband Router in Router Mode)
