IP address

Subnet Mask
, and
DHCP server

You can choose using DHCP server or disable it, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows the
Broadband Router to dynamically assign IP addresses to network devices. Dynamic IP assignment alleviates
the need for the network administrator to maintain and monitor IP address assignments and simplifies IP use
because the IP addresses are automatically and dynamically assigned when a station powers-on. You will
need to indicate the range of DHCP server and DNS address if you enable DHCP server function.

You can also reserve some IP’s to specific computers. You need to enter the name (MAC address) of the
network card installed in your computer to assign a particular IP to it. Enter the relative values and then click
