Act as default router

Make this router the preferred destination for packets that are not otherwise destined.

Allow RIP updates from WAN

For security, disable this option unless required by the ISP.

RIP Password

RIP Version 2 supports the use of a password to limit access to routers through the RIP protocol. If the ISP or other LAN router requires a RIP password, enter the password here.

DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN).

Enable DHCP Server

Once your router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.

The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically".

When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed.

DHCP IP Address Range

These two IP values (from and to) define a range of IP addresses that the DHCP Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside of this range are not managed by the DHCP Server; these could, therefore, be used for manually configured devices or devices that cannot use DHCP to obtain network address details automatically.

It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an address that does reside within this range. In this case the address should be reserved (see Static DHCP Client below), so that the DHCP Server knows that this specific address can only be used by a specific computer or device.

Your router, by default, has a static IP address of 192.168.2.1. This means that addresses 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.254 can be made available for allocation by the DHCP Server.

Example:

Your router uses 192.168.2.1 for the IP address. You've assigned a computer that you want to designate as a Web server with a static IP address of 192.168.2.3. You've assigned another computer that you want to designate as an FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.2.4. Therefore the starting IP address for your DHCP IP address range needs to be 192.168.2.5 or greater.

Example:

Suppose you configure the DHCP Server to manage addresses From: 192.168.2.100

To: 192.168.2.199. This means that 192.168.2.3 to 192.168.2.99 and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 are NOT managed by the DHCP Server. Computers or devices that use addresses from these ranges are to be manually configured. Suppose you have a web
