After changing the Cisco RV180/RV180W's LAN IP address, your PC is no longer
connected to the Cisco RV180/RV180W.
To reconnect your PC to the Cisco RV180/RV180W:
•
If DHCP is configured on the Cisco RV180/RV180W, release and renew your
PC's IP address.
•
If DHCP is not configured on the Cisco RV180/RV180W, manually assign an
IP address to your PC. The address must be on the same subnet as the Cisco
RV180/RV180W. For example, if you change the Cisco RV180/RV180W's
IP address to 10.0.0. 1 , assign your PC an IP address in the range of 10.0.0.2
to 10.0.0.254.
Open a new browser window and enter the new IP address of the Cisco RV180/
RV180W to reconnect.
Configuring DHCP
By default, the Cisco RV180/RV180W functions as a DHCP server to the hosts on
the Wireless LAN (WLAN) or LAN network and assigns IP and DNS server
addresses.
Enter the LAN IP address of the RV180/RV180W.
Make sure the address is not in use by another
device on the same network. The default IP
address is 192. 1 68. 1 . 1 .
Choose the subnet mask for the new IP address
from the drop-down menu. The default subnet is
255.255.255.0.
