Specify the IP Addresses That the Router Assigns

server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN.The assigned default gateway address
is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default
addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you can save part of the
range for devices with fixed addresses.
