• Key (1-4): Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data
transmission, the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the
same as the router. There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX
style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively, the
separator is “-“. For example, using WEP64, 11-22-33-44-55 is a valid key, whilst
1122334455 is invalid.
• Hide ESSID: User can select Enable or Disable to hide ESSID.
3.6.3.1.4 DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or enable
the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to dynamically
assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP addresses
automatically.
To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next then click Apply. When
the DHCP Server is disabled you need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on
your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (the
default is 192.168.1.254).
To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can then
configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and
ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP
address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the
gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it
requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to enable this function. If you
check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router performs the domain name lookup,
finds the IP address from the outside network automatically and forwards it back to the
requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
