DHCP Server
Keep the default Enable to enable the gateway's DHCP server option. If
users already have a DHCP server on their network or users do not
want a DHCP server, then select Disable.
Start IP Address
Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing
IP addresses. Do not start with 192.168.1.1 (the gateway's own IP
address).
Maximum DHCP
Users
Enter the maximum number of PCs that users want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 if 192.168.1.2 is
user’s starting IP address.
Client Lease
Time
The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be
allowed to connect to the Router with their current dynamic IP address.
Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased" with
this dynamic IP address.
Static DNS (1-3)
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain
or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Users' ISP will
provide them with at least one DNS Server IP address. If users wish to
utilize another, enter that IP address in one of these fields. Users can
enter up to three DNS Server IP addresses here. The Router will utilize
them for quicker access to functioning DNS servers
WINS
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's
interaction with the Internet. If users use a WINS server, enter that
server's IP address here. Otherwise, leave it blank.
