MAC Address button. The WAN interface will then use the MAC address of the network adapter in your
computer.

LAN SETTING

IP Address:The IP address of the this device on the local area network. Assign any unused IP address
in the range of IP addresses available for the LAN.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the local area network.
DHCP Server Settings: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is
where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other
devices on your local area network (LAN).
Enable DHCP Server: Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP
Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and
other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.
The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration
set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically". When you set Enable DHCP Server, the
following options are displayed.
DHCP IP Address Range: These two IP values (Start and End) define a range of IP addresses that the
DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network.
Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could,
therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network
address details automatically.
It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does reside
within this range. In this case the address should be reserved, so that the DHCP Server knows that this
specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.
Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.10.1. This means that addresses
192.168.10.2 to 192.168.10.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of the local area network.
Gateway: The IP address of the router on the local area network. For example, 192.168.10.1.
DHCP Lease Time: The amount of time that a computer may have an IP address before it is required to
renew the lease. The lease functions just as a lease on an apartment would. The initial lease designates
the amount of time before the lease expires. If the tenant wishes to retain the address when the lease is
expired then a new lease is established. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed than
another tenant may use the address.
Add/Edit DHCP Reservation: This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP
address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This
is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an
IP address from the router. The router will provide the device the same IP address every time. DHCP
