The router is set up by default as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which
provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the PC(s) that are connected to the router on the LAN.
The DHCP Server can be configured on the page (shown in Figure 4-22):
DHCP Server - Enable or Disable the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must
have another DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the
computer.
Start IP Address - This field specifies the first of the addresses in the IP address pool.
192.168.1.100 is the default start address.
End IP Address - This field specifies the last of the addresses in the IP address pool.
