Disable the DHCP Server Feature in the Router

By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses
to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network settings of all your computers.
To disable the DHCP server feature in the router:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net .
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup.
The LAN Setup page displays.
5. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
7. (Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network, set your computer IP addresses
manually so that the computers can access the router.

Manage Reserved LAN 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. Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers
that require permanent IP settings.

Reserve an IP Address

To reserve an IP address:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net ..
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
