DHCP Settings

DHCP is enabled initially by default (the IP Address Pool field is already

filled in). Before becoming active, the router’s DHCP server attempts to

locate other active DHCP servers on the network such as Windows NT

servers. If one is detected, the router’s DHCP server disables itself.

The DHCP Server Settings screen allows users to:

• Change the IP Address Pool if needed

• Configure DNS information specifically for Internet access

• Configure the WINS Servers settings if working with Windows NT

⇒ To access the DHCP Server Settings screen, click System Settings

and DHCP Settings.

DHCP IP Address Pool

The existing IP Address Pool settings can be changed if you need to

modify/increase the range of your address pool.

If you change your router’s IP address, the router’s DHCP server will

automatically provide a new IP address pool for the new subnet if the

preceding subnet was enabled.
