N750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4300 User Manual
LAN Setup Screen Settings
• IP Address. The LAN IP address of the router.
• IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the
IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which
have to be reached through a gateway or router.
• Use Router as DHCP Server. By default, the router is a Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway
addresses to all computers connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs
from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is
assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are
satisfactory.
• Reserved IP Addresses Setup. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer
on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses
the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that
require permanent IP settings.
IP Address Reservation
To reserve an IP address:
1. Select Advanced > LAN Setup and click the Add button.
2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an
IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.
3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip: If the computer is already on your network, copy its MAC address from
the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer
contacts the router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP
configuration to force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1. Select the radio button next to the reserved address that you want to edit or delete.
2. Click Edit or Delete.
