Always Broadcast

If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their 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.

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 Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option.

Computer Name

You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server.

IP Address:

The LAN address that you want to reserve.

MAC Address

To input the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually or connect to the router's Web-Management interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button.

A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button to enter the MAC address.

As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific operating system by following the steps below:

Windows 98

Go to the Start menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. A popup

Windows Me

window will be displayed. Select the appropriate adapter from the pull-down

 

menu and you will see the Adapter Address. This is the MAC address of the

 

device.

Windows 2000

Go to your Start menu, select Programs, select Accessories, and select

Windows XP

Command Prompt. At the command prompt type ipconfig /all and hit Enter.

Windows Vista

The physical address displayed for the adapter connecting to the router is the

 

MAC address.

Mac OS X

Go to the Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network, and select

 

the Ethernet Adapter connecting to the router. Select the Ethernet button and

 

the Ethernet ID will be listed. This is the same as the MAC address.
