Other Settings:

+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Setting                         | Value                                      |
+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Router IP Address               | 192.168.0.xxx, where xxx is a number not   |
|                                 | used by another device on your home        |
|                                 | network.  I recommend assigning it a       |
|                                 | number around 245-250 since lower numbers  |
|                                 | will be assigned to your home network by   |
|                                 | Windows.                                   |
|                                 |                                            |
| Subnet Mask/Net Mask            | 255.255.255.0                              |
|                                 |                                            |
| DHCP Server/Automatically       | On, you will be asked to assign either a   |
| Assign Addresses to Clients     | range of addresses or a starting address   |
|                                 | and number of addresses to assign.  These  |
|                                 | addresses will be automatically assigned   |
|                                 | to devices as they connect to the router.  |
|                                 | (192.168.0.50 - 192.168.0.100 is a good    |
|                                 | rule of thumb.                             |
|                                 |                                            |
| Static DNS/WINS Servers         | These are only required if you have an     |
|                                 | existing DNS/WINS server in your house and |
|                                 | should not be normally required.           |
|                                 |                                            |
| DDNS Service                    | Some routers will offer this service, it   |
|                                 | uses a third party DNS server to make it   |
|                                 | easier to find your own devices attached   |
|                                 | the router (by allowing you to call them   |
|                                 | by name rather than IP address, unless     |
|                                 | the service is free, I wouldn't bother.    |
|                                 |                                            |
| SSID                            | Whatever you wish to call your wireless    |
|                                 | network.                                   |
|                                 |                                            |
| SSID Broadcast                  | Optional, if you turn it off, the access   |
|                                 | point won’t be visible to a casual scan    |
|                                 | for wireless networks, however that makes  |
|                                 | it a bit harder to connect to it from your |
|                                 | PSP (since you can’t just scan for it).    |
|                                 | Some people recommend turning SSID         |
|                                 | Broadcast off since it adds a little bit   |
|                                 | more security.                             |
|                                 |                                            |
| Security                        | WEP, 64 or 128bit, create a 10 (for 64bit  |
|                                 | WEP) or 26 (for 128bit WEP) digit key with |
|                                 | the letters 0-9 and A-F and write it down  |
|                                 | safely.  This key is required to connect   |
|                                 | to your hotspot with other devices. 128bit |
|                                 | WEP is preferable since it provides a      |
|                                 | higher level of security.  Note: WPA is    |
|                                 | not supported by the PSP at the time of    |
|                                 | writing.                                   |
|                                 |                                            |
| MAC Address Filtering           | On.  This is used to list the MAC          |
|                                 | addresses (unique hardware IDs) of devices |
|                                 | that you will allow to connect to this     |
|                                 | router. I recommend testing your hotspot   |
|                                 | before enabling this feature.              |
