Setup
p
The basic Setup screen is the first screen you will see when you access the Utility.
If you have already installed and set up your router, you have already seen this
screen and have already properly configured all of the screen’s values.
• Host Name This entry is necessary for some ISPs. Ask your ISP.
• Domain Name This entry is necessary for some ISPs. Ask your ISP.
• Firmware Version This entry shows the version of the firmware you are
using. Future versions of the Router’s Firmware may become available on
the Linksys website.
• LAN IP Address and Subnet Mask The IP Address and Subnet Mask of
the router as they are seen on the internal LAN. The default value is
192.168.1.1 for IP and 255.255.255.0 for Subnet Mask. Unless you already
know your settings, we recommend that you keep the defaults.
