User's Manual

DHCP lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address

before the Broadband Home Router reassigning the IP address. By default, it is 1 day/ 0 hour/

0 minutes.

Pool address (from…to…): When you check the box to enable DHCP server function, you

should give an available range of IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254) that can be

assigned to PCs on the LAN. PCs on the LAN will use the assigned IP addresses to access the

Broadband Home Router through Ethernet.

Default Gateway: You can specify the address of the default gateway for PCs on the LAN

from one of the following options:

1. Router IP address: Use the LAN port IP address of the Broadband Home Router.

2. Specify an IP address: Manually specify the IP address of the gateway for PCs on the

LAN.

3. None: If you select this option there no default gateway is required.

Note

If you set the default gateway to “None”, the system will not be able to access the

Internet. It can only access the local area network.

DNS Server notification: Set up the IP address of the DNS (Domain Name System) server.

The DNS server address will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address. The

DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice

versa. You can set DNS server from one of the following options:

1. Router IP address: Let the Broadband Home Router relay DNS automatically.

2. Specify an IP address: Manually specify the IP address of the DNS server. You are

allowed to specify two DSN servers.

3. None: If you select this option there no default DNS server is required..

Note

If DNS IP is left as 0.0.0.0, then you should specify the DNS on each client PC.
