DHCP Settings
You can configure your WLAN ADSL Router to use the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This section provides DHCP instructions for
implementing it on your network by selecting the role of DHCP protocol that this
device wants to play.
DHCP Mode: There are two different DHCP roles that this device can act as:
DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. When acting as DHCP server, you can setup the
server parameters at the below DHCP Server setting; while acting as DHCP Relay,
you can setup the relay at the below DHCP Relay setting. Otherwise, selected the
None to disable the DHCP service.
DHCP Relay
Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers' home/small
office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP
relay agent. When a host on your network requests Internet access, the device
contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forward that
information to the host. You should set the DHCP mode after you configure the
DHCP relay.
DHCP Server Address: Specify the IP address of your ISP's DHCP server.
Requests for IP information from your LAN will be passed to the default
gateway, which should route the request appropriately.
DHCP Server
By default, the device is configured as a DHCP server, with a predefined IP
address pool of 192.168.10.2 through 192.168.10.100 (subnet mask
255.255.255.0).
