Dhcp Server Settings - D-Link DIR-816 User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-816 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to "Obtain an IP
Address Automatically. " When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-816 . The
DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting
and ending address of the IP address pool.
Choose the DHCP server option in the pulldown menu to

the lease time in minutes.
