Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server
DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, or you don’t
want a DHCP server, then select
Dsable
(no other DHCP
features will be available).
Startng IP Address
Enter a value for the DHCP server
to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
Router’s default IP address is
192.168.1.1
, the Starting
IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is
192.168.1.100
.
Maxmum Number of DHCP Users
Enter the maximum
number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.
The default is
0
.
Clent Lease Tme
The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the
amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The
default is
0
minutes, which means one day.
Statc DNS (1-)
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up
to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.

The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you
use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.
