DHCP Settings Help
The router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the PCs that are connected to the router in the LAN.
- DHCP Server - Enable or Disable the server. If you disable the Server, you must have another DHCP server within your network, or else you must configure the IP address of the computer manually.
- Start IP Address - This field specifies the first address in the IP Address pool. 192.168.0.100 is the default start IP address.
- End IP Address - This field specifies the last address in the IP Address pool. 192.168.0.199 is the default end IP address.
- Address Lease Time - The Address Lease Time is the length of time in which a network user will be allowed to keep connecting to the router with the current DHCP Address. Enter the amount of time in minutes for the DHCP address lease. The time range is 1~2880 minutes. The default value is 120 minutes.
- Default Gateway - (Optional) Suggest inputting the IP Address of the LAN port of the router, default value is 192.168.0.1.
- Default Domain - (Optional) Input the domain name of your network.
- Primary DNS - (Optional) Input the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Or consult your ISP.
- Secondary DNS - (Optional) You can input the IP Address of another DNS server if your ISP provides two DNS servers.
Note: To use the DHCP server function of the router, you should configure all computers in the LAN into "Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode. This function will not take effect until the router is rebooted.
