DHCP Server:
Changing settings for the DHCP server is optional.
The default selections are almost always
sufficient.
DHCP Server: (Default: Enabled) When the
DHCP server is enabled, users of your network
will be able to automatically connect to the Internet
without any special configuration. It is
recommended that you leave this enabled.
Disabling the DHCP server is only recommended
if you have another DHCP server on your network
and it is configured properly.
Range Start and Range End: These designate
the range of values in the reserved pool of IP
addresses for the DHCP server. Values within this
range will be given to any DHCP enabled
computers on your network. The default values
are almost always sufficient (default: 72 to 200, as
in 192.168.0.72 to 192.168.0.200).
Example: The router uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1 for its primary network by default. A computer designated as a Web server has a static IP
address of 192.168.0.3. Another computer is designated as an FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4. The starting IP address for the
DHCP server needs to be 192.168.0.5 or higher.
Lease Time: [Default: 720 minutes (12 hours)] The lease time
specifies how long DHCP-enabled computers will wait before
requesting a new DHCP lease. Smaller values are better
suited to busy environments.
DHCP Options: Input a custom DHCP option by first clicking
"Add". There are close to 200 possible DHCP options
