I am assuming it works like a router.  The userguide that can be
downloaded from this page:
http://www.thomson-broadband.co.uk/codepages/content3.asp?c=7&ProductID=514
states you connect to the router using 192.168.1.254 so this seems to
confirm it.  It also shows it is a dhcp server that can provide a pool
of private addresses.
