Chapter 4.0 Advanced Configuration

Most users will not need to change any advanced configuration on this router. This section is intended for users who are familiar with both wireless and routers.

4-1 DHCP Configuration

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server can automatically assign IP Addresses to each computer in your network. Unless you already have one in your LAN,
it is highly recommended that you set your router to act as a DHCP server.
• DHCP Server: Select "Enable" to use the DHCP server internal to the router. If you already have a DHCP server in your network, set the router's DHCP
option to "Disable".
• Starting IP Address: Enter a numerical value, from 2 to 254, for the DHCP server to start at when assigning IP Addresses.
• Finish IP Address: Enter a numerical value, from 2 to 254, for the DHCP server to finish at when assigning IP Addresses.
• Lease Time: Enter the amount of time that DHCP clients (the PCs on LAN side) can use the IP Addresses assigned by the router's DHCP server. Before the
time is up, DHCP clients have to request to renew the DHCP information.
• DNS Server: The IP Address of the Domain Name Server, which is currently used. Multiple DNS IP settings are common. The first DNS entry will be used in most
cases.
• WINS Server: Windows Internet Name Service (WINS Server) dynamically maps IP addresses to computer names (NetBIOS names). This allows users to access
resources by computer name instead of IP addresses. If you have a WINS server on the network, enter the IP address of the server in this box.
Click the "Save" button after making any changes, or click the "Cancel" button to exit the screen without saving any changes.
