AmpliFi User GuideChapter 2: Overview
Internet
The Internet screen for the Router allows you to access
Internet connection settings, including service type: DHCP,
Static IP, or PPPoE. Tap to save your changes.
• Network Type Select the type of Internet connection you
use: Static, DHCP, or PPPoE.
Static
If your service provider supplies you with fixed network
settings to assign to the Router, use the Static option to
manually enter that information here.
• IP Address Enter the Internet IP address of the Router.
• Network Mask Enter the network or subnet mask of the
Router.
• Gateway Address Enter the IP address of the service
provider’s gateway router.
• Primary DNS Address Enter the IP address of the service
provider’s primary DNS server.
• Secondary DNS Address Enter the IP address of the
service provider’s secondary DNS server.
• UPnP Enabled by default. Universal Plug and Play
automatically configures port forwarding when you have
hardware that supports UPnP.
• Clone MAC Address Disabled by default. Select this
option to clone a computer’s MAC address to the Router.
Enter the MAC address in the field provided.
This may be helpful if your service provider registered
the MAC address of the computer you had previously
connected to the modem. MAC address cloning allows the
Router to be recognized instead.
• Bridge Mode Disabled by default, bridge mode can
help you grow your network and/or separate multiple
networks. It allows you to use more than one router on the
same network by placing one router in bridge mode and
connecting it to the client port on another.
Here are a few of the most common applications for
bridge mode:
• Connect two routers to share network resources.
• Use the Router as an additional access point on an
existing network.
• Use the Router with a fiber service.
DHCP
The use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
is the default. The Router automatically acquires network
settings from the service provider’s DHCP server.
• IP Address Displays the IP address assigned by your ISP
(Internet Service Provider).
• Network Mask Displays the network or subnet mask of
the Router.
• Gateway Address Displays the IP address of the service
provider’s gateway router.
• Primary DNS Address Displays the IP address of the
service provider’s primary DNS (Domain Name System)
server.
• Secondary DNS Address Displays the IP address of the
service provider’s secondary DNS server.
• UPnP Enabled by default. Universal Plug and Play
automatically configures port forwarding when you have
hardware that supports UPnP.
