Section 3 – Configuration
You may also configure DNS settings when using the Router in DHCP mode (Advanced > DNS Setup). When "Obtain DNS server address
automatically" is clicked under DNS Server Configuration on the DNS Setup window, the Router will automatically relay DNS settings to properly
configured DHCP clients. To manually enter DNS IP addresses, click the "Use the following DNS server addresses" radio button and type in a
Preferred DNS Server and Alternate DNS Server in the fields provided. The manually configured DNS settings will be supplied to clients that are
configured to request them from the Router.
Follow the instructions below according to which of the above DHCP options you want to use. When you have configured DHCP as you want, click
the Apply button to commit the new settings. A message pops up asking if reboot the system. Click OK to restart the device.
To use the built-in DHCP server, click the Enable DHCP Server radio button in the DHCP Settings section if it is not already selected. The IP
address pool settings can be adjusted. The DHCP IP Address Range starts with the lowest available IP address (default = 192.168.1.2). If you
change the IP address of the Router this will change automatically to be 1 more that the IP address of the Router. The DHCP IP Address Range
ends with the highest IP address number in the pool. Type in the DHCP Lease Time in the entry field provided. This is the amount of time in hours
that a workstation is allowed to reserve an IP address in the pool if the workstation is disconnected from the network or powered off.
To disable DHCP, Click the Disable DHCP Server radio button in the DHCP Settings section and click the Apply button. A message pops up asking
if reboot the system. Click OK to restart the device. Choosing this option will gray out most of the setting options on this window and require that
workstations on the local network be configured manually or use another DHCP server to obtain IP settings.
If you configure IP settings manually, make sure to use IP addresses in the subnet of the Router. You will need to use the Router's IP address as the
Default Gateway for the workstation in order to provide Internet access.
To add an entry to the DHCP Reservation List, click the Add button in the DHCP Reservation List section, type in an IP Address, either click the
Copy Your PC's MAC Address button or manually enter a MAC Address, enter a Computer Name if desired, and click the Apply button. To delete
an entry from the DHCP Reservations List, tick the entry, and click the Delete button. To modify a DHCP Reservations List entry, tick the entry, click
the Edit button, and then enter the information in the appropriate fields in the Add DHCP Reservation (Optional) section. Click the Apply button. A
message pops up asking if reboot the system. Click OK to restart the device.
