6.7 WiFi / Local Network

This section is used to configure the

settings for wireless networks created

by your router. Note that changes made

in this section may also need to be

duplicated on wireless devices that you

want to connect to your wireless

network.

For example, if you change the LAN IP address,

devices within your network will lose connection

to the LAN. They will have to reconnect to your

network.

6.7.1

LAN Settings

IP Address: This is the address used

by the router for local area network

communication. Changes to this

parameter may require a restart to

computers on this network.
Netmask: (Default: 255.255.255.0) The

netmask controls how many IP addresses can be used in this network. The default value allows for 254 IP addresses,

which is enough in most cases.
Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is the DNS name associated with the router's local area network

IP address. You can access the router‘s administration pages by inputting the hostname into your browser, so if you

change ―cp‖ to another hostname, you can access the administration pages through the new hostname.
Guest IP Address: This is the address used by the router for the guest network communication. The guest network

DHCP range is automatically selected based off this address. The guest network cannot overlap with the main network.
