DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server automatically
assigns IP addresses to each PC on your network for you. Unless you already
have one, it is highly recommended that you leave your Router enabled as a
DHCP server.
• DHCP Server DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you
already have a DHCP server on your network, set the Router's DHCP
option to Disable and click Apply. If you disable DHCP, remember to
assign a static IP address to your Router.
• Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with
when issuing IP addresses. This value must be (192.168.1.) 2 or greater,
because the default IP address for your Router is 192.168.1.1.
