Maximum Number of Users Enter the maximum
number of computers that you want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater
than 253. The default is 50.
IP Address Range The range of available IP addresses is
displayed.
Client Lease Time
The Client Lease Time is the amount of
time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router
with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of
time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased” this dynamic
IP address. After the time is up, the user will be automatically
assigned a new dynamic IP address, or the lease will be
renewed. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
Static DNS 1-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the
Internet translates domain or website names into Internet
addresses or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs). Your ISP will
provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish
to use another, enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You
can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router
will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each computer’s interaction with the Internet. If
you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.

Setup > DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when
you are hosting your own website, File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server, or other server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want
to use this option, keep the default, Disabled.
DDNS
DDNS Service
If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then
select DynDNS.org from the drop-down menu. If your
DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com.
The features available on the DDNS screen will vary,
depending on which DDNS service provider you use.

for your host. For example, if your DDNS address is
