1. The IP parameters cannot be configured if you have chosen Dynamic IP. In this situation the
device will automatically configure the IP parameters appropriate to your need.
2. If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep
the provided default values, otherwise may result in lower wireless network performance or
even can't work.
3. If you choose Static IP, the domain name log in function won't work, and you have to use the
IP you set to log in the Range Extender's web based utility.

4.3.2 DHCP Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically
assign dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the network. This protocol simplifies network
management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the
need to manually assign new IP addresses.
Selecting Network > DHCP Settings will enable you to set up the Range Extender as a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the
PCs that are connected to the system on the LAN. The DHCP Server can be configured on the page,
only when you've set the Network LAN type as Static IP.

Note:
The DHCP Settings function cannot be configured if you have chosen Dynamic IP (DHCP) in
Network -> LAN, in which situation the device will help you configure the DHCP automatically as
you need. The DHCP Settings page will appear as shown below.
