Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
the device through this port. It is also the IP address of the
Web-based Configuration Utility. By default, the IP address and
subnet mask of the LAN port is 192.168.2.1 and 255.255.255.0
respectively. Note that if you change the private IP address and
apply the changes, the PC from which you configure the router will
lose the communication to the router. To reconnect, you will need
to renew the IP address of the PC or change to an IP address
compatible with the new LAN port IP address.
DHCP Server (Router Mode Only)
Select whether to enable DHPC service for LAN and WLAN. The
Wireless Broadband Router implements a built-in DHCP (Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol) server on its LAN and WLAN interface,
which dynamically assigns IP addresses to the DHCP clients on
the LAN / WLAN. The DHCP server also provides a default
gateway (the router's LAN IP address) and DNS addresses for
DHCP clients to access the Internet. DHCP function spares you the
hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on the
LAN / WLAN. If you already have a DHCP server on your network
you should disable this function. DHCP server is enabled by
default.
IP Pool Starting/Ending Address: Specify the starting and ending
IP address of the IP address pool. Whenever a network device
requests an Internet session, the router will allocate an unused IP
address from this pool and lease them to the device for a specified
amount of time.
Lease Time
Specify the length of time that the DHCP server will reserve the IP
address for each computer.
Local Domain Name (Optional)
A feature that allows you can assign a name to your network.
