How to set up the DHCP server on your router

Main > LAN & DHCP Server

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. The DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or if you do not want to use your router as a DHCP server, you can disable this setting. It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.

1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your router management page” on page 11).

2.Click on Main, and click on LAN & DHCP Server.

3.Review the DHCP Server settings.

∙DHCP Server – Enable or Disable the DHCP server.

∙Start IP – Changes the starting address for the DHCP server range. (e.g. 192.168.10.20)

∙End IP – Changes the last address for the DHCP server range. (e.g.

192.168.10.30)

Note: The Start IP and End IP specify the range of IP addresses to automatically assign to computers or devices on your network.

∙Domain Name (Optional) – Specifies a domain name to assign to computers or devices. (e.g. trendnet.com)

∙Lease Time – Click the drop-down list to select the lease time.

Note: The DHCP lease time is the amount of time a computer or device can keep an IP address assigned by the DHCP server. When the lease time expires, the computer or device will renew the IP address lease with the DHCP server, otherwise, if there is no attempt to renew the lease, the DHCP server will reallocate the IP address to be assigned to another computer or device.
