LAN Setup Screen Settings
You can configure the settings described in the following sections:
LAN TCP/IP Setup
•IP Address. The LAN IP address of the WiFi DSL modem router.
• IP Subnet Mask . 
 The LAN subnet mask of the WiFi DSL modem router. Combined with 
the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other a\
ddresses are 
local to it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or WiFi DSL \
modem router.
• RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routin\
g 
information with other routers. 

This setting controls how the router sends and receives 
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only sett\
ing, the router 
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router 
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• RIP V
ersion. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP \
packets that the WiFi DSL modem router sends. It recognizes both formats\
 when 
receiving. By default, the RIP function is disabled. 
- RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you \
have an 
unusual network setup.

-RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in 
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Use Router as DHCP Server 
This check box is selected so that the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a Dynamic Host 
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. 
•Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the 
same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.
•Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the 
same subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router.
For more information, see Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server on page 52.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives 
the same IP address each time it accesses the WiFi DSL modem router’s DHCP server. 
Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. For more 
information, see 
Address Reservation on page 53.
Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, 
DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the WiFi DSL 
modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the WiFi 
DSL modem router. The WiFi DSL modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached 
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested 
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the 
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the WiFi DSL modem router are satisfactory. 
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that are assigned by setting the starting IP address 
and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as 
the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you 
should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to 
save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The WiFi DSL modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that 
requests DHCP:
•An IP address from the range that you have defined
•Subnet mask
•Gateway IP address (the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address)
•DNS server IP address (the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address)
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to manually configure the 
network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box 
and click Apply. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If this service is not enabled and

 D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
no other DHCP server is available on your network, you need to set your \
computers’ IP 
addresses manually or they are not able to access the WiFi DSL modem rou\
ter.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that c\
omputer always 
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the WiFi DSL modem ro\
uter’s DHCP 
server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that \
require 
permanent IP settings. 
To reserve an IP address: 
1. 
Select  ADV
 ANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
2.  In the 
Address Reservation section of the screen, click the  Add button. 
3. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an 
IP address from the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.) 
4.  T
ype the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip:If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC 
address from the 

Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
5.  Click  Apply . 
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer co\
ntacts the WiFi  DSL modem router’
 s DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration 
and force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1.  Select the radio button next to the reserved address you want to edit or\
 delete.
2.  Click one of the following buttons:  Edit or Delete.

Quality of Service Setup
Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to pr\
ioritize some types of 
traffic ahead of others. The WiFi DSL modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the 
wireless link and on the Internet connection. 
WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic 
to have a range of priorities depending on the type of data. 

Time-dependent information, 
such as video and audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function 
correctly, wireless clients have to support WMM also.
For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both the applicat\
ion and the client 
running that application must have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that\
 do not support 
WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best ef\

fort category, 
which receives a lower priority than voice and video. 
To configure QoS: 
1.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.
2. (Optional) Clear the  Enable WMM (Wi-Fi multimedia) settings  check box.
WMM QoS is disabled.
3.  Select the  T
 urn Internet Access QoS On check box.
Internet traffic is prioritized.
4.  Select the  T
 urn Bandwidth Control On  check box.
You can specify the maximum uplink bandwidth.

File-Sharing Scenarios
You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational 
purposes. The files can be any Windows, Mac, or Linux file type including text, Word, 
PowerPoint, Excel, and MP3 files, pictures, and multimedia. USB drive applications include:
•Sharing multimedia such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and 
remote users.
•Sharing resources on your network. You might want to store files in a central location so 
that you do not need to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you 
can share files between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB 
drive as a go-between across the systems.
•Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with 
remote users.
A few common uses are described in the following sections.
Share Photos 
You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This approach 
eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site.
To share files with your friends and family:
1. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the WiFi DSL modem router either directly or 
with a USB cable.
Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive 
using a web browser or Microsoft Networking.
2. If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see USB 
Storage Advanced Settings on page 64.
Store Files in a Central Location for Printing
This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a 
computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print 
server.
•One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print.
•The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the 
network.
•The Mac and Windows computer are not visible to each other on the network.
To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a Windows computer:
1. On the Mac, access the USB drive by typing \
eadyshare in the address field of a web 
browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive.
2. On the Windows computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files 
from the USB drive to the Windows computer. Then print the files.
