server on your network, or you don't want a DHCP server, then select Disable (no

other DHCP features will be available).

Starting IP Address: Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when

issuing IP addresses. Because the router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the

starting IP address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than

192.168.1.255. The default starting IP address is 192.168.1.100.

Maximum Number of DHCP Users: Enter the maximum number of machines

that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be

greater than 253. The default is 50.

Client Lease Time: The client lease time is the amount of time a network user

will be allowed connection to the router with their current dynamic IP address.

Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased" this dynamic

IP address. After the time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new

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 Web site names into IP addresses. Your ISP will provide you

with at least one DNS server IP address. If you wish to use another, enter that IP

address in one of these groups of boxes. You can enter up to three DNS server IP

addresses here. The router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS

servers.

WINS: The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages Windows PCs'

interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that server's IP

address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.

Time Setting: Select from this list the time zone in which your network functions.

(You can even automatically adjust for daylight saving time.)

Click Save Settings to apply the new settings, or click Cancel Changes to cancel

any unsaved changes.

Setup Page – DDNS Panel

The router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you

have a fixed host and domain name without having a fixed Internet IP address. If the

router's Internet IP address is dynamically assigned and you wish to host a Web site,

FTP site, or other service, you must use DDNS so the Domain Name System is

automatically updated when the router's Internet IP address changes.

Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service with DDNS

provider Dynamic Network Services, Inc., also known as DynDNS

(http://www.dyndns.org/). If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default

setting, Disable.
