2.5 DHCP Server
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic configuration protocol used on IP
networks. If you enable the built‐in DHCP server on this device, it will automatically configure the TCP/IP
protocol settings for all PC's in the LAN, including IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS.
DHCP Server: Select whether to enable or disable the router's DHCP server feature.
Start IP Address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment.
End IP Address: Enter the ending IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease.

1. The device has enabled the DHCP server by default and it is not advisable to disable it unless necessary.
2. To apply the DHCP server settings to all PC's on your LAN, you must set all PC's to "Obtain an IP address
automatically" and "Obtain DNS server address automatically".
