When upgrading the Handytone 486, you may experience problems accessing the device via the web browser. The instructions below detail how to avoid this inconvenience. |

1. The Handytone 486 has two ports, WAN and LAN. By default, you connect the Handytone to the network using the WAN port. Your router will then assign a private IP Address to the WAN port. Your LAN port, however will keep a specific IP Address defined by the manufacturer. Before upgrading the Handytone, adjust the LAN IP Settings (update LAN Subnet Mask and LAN DHCP Base IP) as shown below as an example. |
