Step 2 –"Retrieve your NETGEAR’s LAN and WAN Configuration
(*) If you are using a subnet mask with elements that are not 0 or 255, you can
use one of the many subnet calculators available for free on the Internet to
calculate the network address.!
‣
Go to Maintenance > Router Status and obtain the

‣
WAN1 Configuration:
‣

‣
LAN Port:
‣
Write down the LAN IP Address ➎
‣
Write down the LAN IP Subnet Mask ➏
‣
Calculate your LAN Network Address by applying the LAN
Subnet Mask ➏ to the LAN IP Address ➎:
‣
Applying the subnet mask means setting those elements of
the IP address to 0 where the subnet mask is 0, and
preserving all elements where the subnet mask is 255 (*)
‣
In our example:
‣
Write down the LAN Network Address you have
calculated as ➐
