What is the IP of the router that connects to this router?
It must be an IP address in the same subnet. Other than that, the network designer has the flexibility to assign any IP address in the same subnet. Quite often, the first or last IP addresses in a subnet are used, so if a certain interface on this router has IP address 10.0.5.1, and the network mask is 255.255.255.0, I would strongly suspect that the other router has IP address 10.0.5.2 (10.0.5.0 can't be used for this subnet).For serial (point-to-point) connections, to save address space, quite often a subnet /30 is used (that is, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252), in which case the other router has the only other usable IP address in the subnet. For example, if this router has IP address 10.0.8.26 and a subnet mask 255.255.255.252, the subnet has addresses in the range 10.0.8.24 - 10.0.8.27, but since the first and last addresses can't be used, the only option for a router or other machine on the other end is 10.0.8.25.It must be an IP address in the same subnet.

What process does router use to determine the subnet network address based upon a given ip address and subnet mask?
binary ANDing
What is the first valid address on a subnet?
Depends on the subnet. For the subnet of 192.168.1.0, the first usable IP address is 192.168.1.1. This is typical of a default wireless router setup. Valid usable IP addresses under this scenario is 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254.
Can a router have 2 wireless subnet?
That would depend on the router.

Answer: 172.16.192.160 IP address: 172.16.192.166 in binary: 10101100.00010000.11000000.10100110 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.248 in binary 11111111.11111111.11111111.11111000 get answer by ANDing answer in binary: 10101100.00010000.11000000.10100000 answer: 172.16.192.160
How do subnet masks indentify that a network has been subnetted?
If (for example) the first 20 bits of the subnet masks are "1", then any IP address that shares the same 20 bits with the IP address of my computer is in the same subnet.Note that a subnet only indicates the size of the current subnet, the subnet in which your computer (for example) is located. Other subnets of a network may have different sizes; this can't be ascertained just by looking at you IP address and subnet. Nor is it relevant for your computer: The computer only has to know that anything outside the subnet has to be sent first to the default gateway - the server or router that connects your subnet to the remainder of the net.If (for example) the first 20 bits of the subnet masks are "1", then any IP address that shares the same 20 bits with the IP address of my computer is in the same subnet.Note that a subnet only indicates the size of the current subnet, the subnet in which your computer (for example) is located.

Is lan address is same as ip address?
Well a lan address will contain an I.P address, it is usually asigned automatically from your router as well as a DNS, default gateway, and a subnet mask.
Starting at the enable mode prompt what commands would you type to configure IP address 192.168.1.1 on interface E0?
I will show the commands, together with the prompt, assuming the router name has not been changed. A subnet mask is also required; I will provide one. ^Z is Control-Z, used to exit configuration mode quickly: Router>enable Router#configure terminal Router(config)#interface E0 Router(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0 Router(config-if)#^Z Router#I will show the commands, together with the prompt, assuming the router name has not been changed.

If you set a systems subnet mask to 255.255.255.0 how many computers can you put on the network without using a router?
254. 256 minus the network address, minus the broadcast address.
What does it mean to enable AP mode in net gear wndr3400 router?
This means that the device will no longer be a "router" ... it will simply pass through IP addresses in the same subnet as the one it is given (presumably by an upstream router). This is useful for networks where there is an existing router (e.g., uverse gateway) with built-in wireless, but you want to locate the wireless access point in a different location from the router. Note that a router would typically have an IP address in one subnet (provided by the WAN or an upstream router) and it would provide IP addresses using DHCP typically in another subnet. So your cable modem is a router in that it gets an external IP from the cable company. But then it provides 192.168.x.x addresses to you. If you add an additional router it might be given a 192.168.x.x address and then provide 10.1.1.x addresses to you. If the additional "router" above were in "AP mode" then it would have a 192.168.x.x address and it would pass through DHCP requests to the cable modem... so everybody would get a 192.168.x.x address.
What does address 192.1.6.255 signify?
In a 24 bit subnet (subnet mask = 255.255.255.0), the address 192.1.6.255 is the broadcast address for the subnet 192.1.6.0/24.
How many routers do you need for each subnet?
It depends on how many subnets you have and how many ports you router has. Usually each port in router is devoted to on subnet, you can do math for your situation.
