DHCP Settings

Your router functions as a DHCP server, letting it assign the following to all computers
connected to the router's LAN:
• IP address
• DNS server
• Default gateway address
The assigned default gateway address is your router's LAN address. IP addresses are
assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each
pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router apply.
If another computer, smartphone, or tablet on your network is the DHCP server, or if you
manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, deselect Use Router as
DHCP Server on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and
Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address
subnetwork as the router's LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a
range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, saving part of the range for computers,
smartphones, or tablets with fixed addresses.
Your router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range you have defined.
• Subnet mask.
• Gateway IP address is the router's LAN IP address.
• Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Broadband Settings
screen; otherwise, your router's LAN IP address.
• Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Broadband
Settings screen.
• WINS server (Windows Internet Naming Service server) determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list
of names and IP address of Windows computers on its local network. If you connect to a
remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the server's IP address here. This
procedure lets your computers browse the network using the Network Neighborhood
feature of Windows.
