    3.2 IP Configuration DHCP MODE When the AR-5381u powers up, the onboard DHCP server will switch on. Basically, the DHCP server issues and reserves IP addresses for LAN devices, such as your PC. To obtain an IP address from the DCHP server, follow the steps provided below.
  • Page 15 STEP 4: Click OK to submit these settings. If you experience difficulty with DHCP mode, you can try static IP mode instead.
  • Page 16 STATIC IP MODE In static IP mode, you assign IP settings to your PC manually. Follow these steps to configure your PC IP address to use subnet 192.168.1.x. NOTE: The following procedure assumes you are running Windows. However, the general steps involved are similar for most operating systems (OS). Check your OS support documentation for further details.
