Advanced Configuration
DHCP Server Tab
The DHCP Server tab enables Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) server functionality on the LAN, allowing the
router to dynamically assign lease IP addresses to clients that
connect to it from the local network.
Field or Button Description
Enable DHCP
Server
If selected, the DHCP server on the gateway
assigns IP addresses to the computers and
other hosts on your network if they have
DHCP enabled. By default, the gateway
server is enabled. If there is another DHCP
server running on your network (on another
router), you must disable one of the DHCP
servers.
If not selected, you must carefully configure
the IP address, Subnet Mask, and DNS set-
tings of every host on your network. Do not
assign the same IP address to more than one
host. Your gateway must be on the same sub-
net as the other hosts.
DHCP Server IP
Address
Enter the default port forwarding LAN Client
IP Address.
DHCP Starting
IP Address
Sets the first IP address assigned by the
DHCP server, in dotted-decimal format. It
must be greater than the IP address value of
the gateway. For example, if the IP address of
the gateway is 192.168.15.1 (default), the
starting IP address must be 192.168.15.2 (or
higher).
