6. Configuring LAN IP Address & Subnet Mask. The default LAN IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask
of 24 is usually sufficient.
Tip: If the CPE on WAN (e.g. Fiber or Cable Modem) has a default IP Address of 192.168.1.1, the Ethernet
cable should be disconnected from the WAN port on the Netgate 2100 Security Gateway before starting.
Change the default LAN IP Address of the device during this step in the configuration to avoid having conflicting
subnets on the WAN and LAN.
7. Change the Admin Password. Enter the same new password in both fields.
8. Click Reload to save the configuration.
9. After a few seconds, a message will indicate the Setup Wizard has completed. To proceed to the pfSense

cation modal dialog with the Copyright and Trademark Notices.
Read and click Accept to continue to the dashboard.
If the Ethernet cable was unplugged at the beginning of this configuration, reconnect it to the WAN port now.
This completes the basic configuration for the Netgate appliance.
