Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool

By default, the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The router assigns
IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN and WiFi
network. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's LAN IP address. The default
DHCP address pool is 192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
