Settings Available

  • DHCP IP Reservation: Fixes an IP address to a particular client device. This will enable you to run applications requiring a fixed IP to function. IP reservations are required to set up Port Forwarding rules.
  • Port Forwarding: Allows connections from the Internet to pass through to a particular IP address in your network. You need to create a DHCP Reservation entry before you can set up port forwarding.
  • DNS Configuration : Allows you to set a custom DNS so you can use a public DNS that is not provided by GCI or a DNS that has built-in parental and security controls such as OpenDNS.
  • UPnP: Enables the devices in your network to be easily discoverable by other devices and applications for data sharing and communication purposes. This feature is ON by default, but you may disable it in the App.
  • LAN IP Subnet Configuration: Allows manual setting of the IP subnet range for the Secure and Employee networks. Only private IPv4 ranges are possible. These ranges include the following:
    • 10.0.0.x to 10.255.255.x
    • 172.16.0.x to 172.31.255.x
    • 192.168.0.x to 192.168.255.x

The subnet for the Guest network is separate and cannot be customized.
