DHCP Server. DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or you
don't want a DHCP server, then click the Disable radio button (no other DHCP features will be available).
Start IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the
Router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller
than 192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users. Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50.

Client Lease Time. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased"
this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.
The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
Static DNS (1-3). The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use
another, type that IP Address in one of these fields. You can type up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The
Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's interaction with the Internet. If you use
a WINS server, enter that server's IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
Static DHCP Client button. The Static DHCP Client button is used if you want to assign a fixed IP address to a
MAC address. Enter the static local IP address in the Assign this IP field, and enter the MAC address of the PC in

information: Client Name, Interface, IP Address, and MAC Address. From the Sort by drop-down menu, you can
sort the table by Client Name, Interface, IP Address, or MAC Address. If you want to add any of the DHCP clients to
the Static DHCP Client List, then click the Save to Static DHCP Client List checkbox and then click the Save
Settings button. Click the Cancel Changes button to cancel your changes. To view the most up-to-date
information, click the Refresh button. To exit this screen, click the Close button.
