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 DHCP 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 you do not select, you must carefully configure the IP address,
Subnet Mask, and DNS settings 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 subnet as the other hosts.
DHCP Server IP
Address
Sets your DHCP Server IP address in dotted-decimal format. We
recommend not changing the default 192.168.15.1
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).
DHCP Ending IP
Address
Sets the final IP address assigned by the DHCP server, in
dotted-decimal format. It cannot exceed the subnet limit of 254.
For example, the default is 192.168.15.254. If the DHCP server runs
out of DHCP addresses, users cannot access network resources. If
this happens, increase the End IP (to the limit of 254) or reduce
the Lease Time.
DHCP Lease
Time
Sets the time, in seconds, that a network computer remains
connected to the gateway using its current assigned IP address.
At the end of this time, the DHCP server renews the lease or
assigns the computer a new IP address. The default is 3600
seconds (1 hour). The maximum is 999999 seconds (about 278
hours).

This section shows the active DHCP lease since the last reboot. For each active
