Verizon 4G LTE Router MBR1515LVW
DHCP Settings
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses
specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate
addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network is the DHCP server, or if you manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box
on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and
Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as
the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range
between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range
for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP add
ress from the range you have defined.
• Subnet
mask.
• Ga
teway IP address is the router’s LAN IP address.
• Primary DNS server
, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Broadband Settings
screen; otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.
• Seco
ndary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Broadband
Settings screen.
• WINS server (Windows Interne
t Naming Service server) determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list
of names and IP address of Windows computers on its local network. If you connect to a
remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This
procedure allows your computers to browse the network using the Network
Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
