Device Name  The default is Cisco followed by the last 5 digits of the Router’s serial number, which is found on the bottom of the Valet. If you used the setup software for installation, then the Device Name is the name of your wireless network (up to 15 characters). (The Device name is also the Valet’s NetBIOS name..)

DHCP Server Setting

The Valet includes a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to computers, cell phones, gaming systems, and other DHCP enabled devices on your home network. 

NOTE: If you choose to enable the DHCP server option, make sure there is no other DHCP server on your network. 

DHCP Server Setting

DHCP Server  DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or you do not want a DHCP server, then select Disabled (no other DHCP features will be available)..

NOTE: If you disconnect a computer or device from your network and reconnect it to the network at a later time, it may be assigned a new IP address. If you want to ensure that the computer or device uses the same IP address all the time, you can use the DHCP Reservation option. 

DHCP Reservation  Click DHCP Reservation if you want to assign a fixed local IP address to a specific device on your network. This is helpful if you have a device whose IP address must always remain the same, such as a media server or print server. To reserve an IP address for a specific device, select it from the list of devices or manually enter the Media Access Control (MAC) address of the device. 

DHCP Reservation

You will see a list of DHCP clients with the following information: Client Name, Interface, IP Address, and MAC Address. 

DHCP Reservation

••Select Clients from DHCP Table  Click the Select check box to reserve a client’s IP address. Then click Add Clients..

••Manually Adding Client  To manually assign an IP address, enter the client’s name in the Enter Client Name field. Enter the IP address you want it to have in the Assign IP Address field. Enter its MAC address in the To This MAC Address field. Then click Add..

Clients Already Reserved

A list of DHCP clients and their fixed, local IP addresses is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If you want to remove a client from this list, click Remove..

Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to clear your changes. To update the on-screen information, click Refresh. To exit this screen and return to the Basic Setup screen, click Close..

Start IP Address  Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the Valet’s default IP address is 192..168..1..1, the Start IP Address must be 192..168..1..2 or greater, but smaller than 192..168..1..254.  The default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.100..

Maximum Number of Users  Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. Thisnumber cannot be greater than 253.  The default is 50..

IP Address Range  Displayed here is the range of available IP addresses..

Client Lease Time  Client Lease Time is the length of time that a device will be “leased” a dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the device will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address, or the lease will be renewed with the same IP address. Enter the length of time, in minutes, that a device will be “leased” a dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day..
