Using the PC Database
You can use the PC Database whenever you need to select one, several, or all
of the computers on your network for a special purpose. This could include
setting up virtual servers, DMZ hosting, access control, or many other purposes.
DHCP clients on your network are automatically added to the database. The
router always assigns them the same IP address, so there is no need to reserve
an IP address. This means that you do not need to assign static IP addresses to
computers on your LAN, although you can add static IP addresses to the PC
Database if you want.
Important Do not turn off or reset the router while the firmware is
being upgraded. This may cause problems with the router.
