for installation, then the Device Name is the name of your

wireless network (up to 15 characters).

DHCP Server Settings

The settings allow you to configure the router’s DHCP

server function. The router can be used as a DHCP server

for your network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an

IP address to each computer or device on your network.

NOTE: If you choose to enable the DHCP server

option, make sure there is no other DHCP server

on your network.

Basic Setup > DHCP Server Settings

DHCP Server DHCP is enabled by default. If you already

have a DHCP server on your network, or you do not want

a DHCP server, then select Disabled (no other DHCP

features will be available).

DHCP Reservation Click DHCP Reservation if you want

to assign a fixed local IP address to a specific device on

your network. This is helpful if you have a device whose

IP address must always remain the same, such as a media

server or print server. To reserve an IP address for a specific

device, select it from the list of devices or manually enter

the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the device.

DHCP Reservation

The DHCP Reservation screen appears and displays

a list of DHCP clients with the following information:

Client Name, Interface, IP Address, and MAC Address.

Basic Setup > DHCP Reservation

• Select Clients from DHCP Table Click the Select

check box to reserve a client’s IP address. Then click

Add Clients.

• Manually Adding Client To manually assign an IP

address, enter the client’s name in the Enter Client

Name field. Enter the IP address you want it to have

in the Assign IP Address field. Enter its MAC address in

the To This MAC Address field. Then click Add and click

Save Settings.

Clients Already Reserved

A list of DHCP clients and their fixed, local IP addresses

is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want to

remove a client from this list, click Remove.

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click

Cancel Changes to clear your changes. To update

the on-screen information, click Refresh. To exit this

screen and return to the Basic Setup screen, click Close.

Start IP Address The Start IP Address specifies the

starting IP address for the range of addresses assigned

by your router when it functions as a DHCP server. (The

first IP address assigned by the router will be randomly

selected within the range you specify.)

Because the router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1,

the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but

smaller than 192.168.1.254. The default Start IP Address is

192.168.1.100.

Maximum Number of Users The Maximum Number

of Users specifies the number of IP addresses that can

be assigned by your router when it functions as a DHCP

server. This number cannot be greater than 253. The

default is 50.

IP Address Range The range of available IP addresses is

displayed.

Client Lease Time The Client Lease Time is the length of

time that a dynamically assigned IP address will remain in

effect. After this time is up, the device will be automatically

assigned a new dynamic IP address, or the lease will be

renewed. Enter the length of time, in minutes, that a

user will be “leased” a dynamic IP address. The default is

0minutes, which means one day.

Static DNS 1-3

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, however, you wish to use

a different DNS server, enter its IP address (you can enter up

to three DNS server IP addresses). These static DNS server(s)

will have higher priority than the ISP’s DNS servers. The

router will assign these DNS servers to the computers and

other devices in your local network.

WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)

manages each computer’s interaction with the Internet.

If you use a WINS server, enter its IP address. Otherwise,

leave this field blank.
