Manually Configuring your Router
DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by assigning IP
addresses to each computer on the network automatically. The default setting is
“On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if necessary; however, in order to do so,
you must manually set a static IP address for each computer on your network. To
turn off the DHCP server, select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the computers on
your network. If you want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new
starting and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The starting IP
address must be lower in number than the ending IP address.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each computer.
We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”. The default setting
is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is assigned an IP address by the
DHCP server, the IP address will not change for that particular computer. Setting
lease times for shorter intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses
after the specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s IP
address may change over time. If you have set any of the other advanced features
of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these are dependent on the IP
address. For this reason, you will not want the IP address to change.
Local Domain Name
You can set a local domain name (network name) for your network. There is no
need to change this setting unless you have a specific advanced need to do so. You
can name the network anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.
DHCP Client List
You can view a list of the computers, which are connected to your network. You are
able to view the IP address of the computer, the host name (name of the computer
in your network), and the MAC address of the computer’s network interface card
(NIC). Pressing the “Refresh” button will update the list. If there have been any
changes, the list will be updated.
