DHCP Server Settings

The DHCP Server section allows you to configure the settings for the AP's Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The AP can be used as a DHCP server for your

network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on your network. If

you choose to enable the AP's DHCP server option, you must configure your entire network PCs to

connect to a DHCP server, the AP.

If you disable the AP's DHCP server function, you must configure the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and

DNS for each network computer (note that each IP Address must be unique).

Global Settings: Select the Enable option to enable the AP's DHCP server option.

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

server, then select Disable from the options.

If you enable the DHCP server function, you have to enter a numerical value for the

DHCP server starting and ending addresses. Then the DHCP server will follow this

range to assign IP address for each DHCP clients.

If your DHCP clients must route to other network or with internet service, then the

Gateway IP address will be necessary.

Reservations : If some of network hosts would like to be assigned one fixed IP address by this

DHCP server, please enable the Reservations and add reservation record with MAC

address and preferred IP address.

DNS settings : 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 utilize another DNS, please add static DNS

IP Address to DHCP server.
