Dhcp Server Settings - D-Link DIR-850L User Manual

Section 3 - Configuration
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-850L 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-850L. 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.
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.

Always
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their
Broadcast: IP addresses from the router's DHCP server as expected,
this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the
computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the
router's DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that
incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets.
Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at
the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN.
NetBIOS Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allow LAN hosts to
