5.6.1 DHCP Settings
The router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the
TCP/IP configuration for all the PCs that are connected to the router on the LAN. The DHCP Server can be
configured on the page (shown in figure 5-20):
Figure 5-20 DHCP Settings
• DHCP Server - Enable or Disable the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must have another
DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the computer.
• Start IP Address - This field specifies the first of the addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.1.100 is
the default start address.
• End IP Address - This field specifies the last of the addresses in the IP address pool. 192.168.1.199 is
the default end address.
• Address Lease Time - The Address Lease Time is the amount of time in which a network user will be
allowed connection to the router with their current dynamic IP Address. Enter the amount of time, in
minutes. The user will be “leased” this dynamic IP Address. The range of the time is 1 ~ 2880 minutes.
The default value is 120 minutes.
• Default Gateway - (Optional.) Suggest to input the IP address of the LAN port of the router, default value
is 192.168.1.1

Note: To use the DHCP server function of the router, you must configure all computers on the LAN as “Obtain an IP Address
automatically” mode. This function will take effect until the router reboots.
