or Use WAN:

Specifies that the DNS server address received from the WAN-side DHCP server is to be provided to DHCP clients on the LAN.

Domain Name:

Specifies the DNS domain name for the DHCP server resident on your SpeedStream device. This value must be entered as an alpha-numeric string. This parameter is optional.

Lease Time:

IP addresses are leased from the DHCP server and are valid for a specified period of time, the lease time. At the end of the lease period, the DHCP client will transmit a request to the server to extend the lease, at which time the server will extend the lease period of the IP address assigned to the client. If the lease period expires without the server receiving a request from the client to extend the lease, the server will assume that the client's connection no longer exists, and the server will release the IP address assigned to the client and return the address back to the pool of available addresses.

or Infinite Time:

Leaves the lease time open-ended, preventing the server from releasing the IP address.

To specify the DHCP configuration settings:

The DHCP operating mode defaults to Enable, and the system auto-generates the current IP address range, IP netmask, and default router. If you are using a static IP address, you may need to disable DHCP and enter different addresses in the text boxes. Contact your ISP or network administrator for additional information.

1.Select the DHCP operating mode: If you select Disable, skip to step 3.

2.Enter the range of IP addresses (Start IP Range and End IP Range) and the corresponding subnet mask (IP Netmask) to be managed by the DHCP server. (You may need to contact your ISP for this information.)

3.To use your SpeedStream router as the default router, select Self. (This is the most common choice.)

- or-

Enter the IP address of the default router. (You may need to contact your ISP or network administrator for this information.)

4.To use the DNS server provided by your ISP, select Use WAN. (This is the most common choice.) - or -
