Changing Linksys BEFSR41 settings

Laser5 · 11-07-2006, 09:34 AM

There are 4 offices in a mini-suite using the building's Internet connections going to a central switch. The building management switched Internet providers, so all the IP, DNS.. etc. information will change.

One office has only one computer so I can give them the new IP address information with no problem. The other 3 offices have 5 PCs each and they are using the Linksys BEFSR41 routers to connection all the PCs to use the Internet.

My question is can I just go to each of the Linksys BEFSR41 routers and change the IP information to the NEW IP settings? Instead of also having to go to EACH of the 15 PCs?

If each of the offices has a router, only the information in the router needs to be changed.

Thanks, so all I would need to do is from any of their PCs, access the router IP, say 192.168.1.1 and change the IP setting for the NEW ISP provider, DNS etc...

regardles if they used DHCP or static IP, everything should basically work, right?

Right, because the clients computer gets all it's information from the router and the router gets it's information from the ISP.
