Setting up the DHCP Server
You wireless router uses DHCP to assign IP addresses automatically on your network. You can specify the IP address range and lease time for the clients on your network.
The ASUS wireless router can support up to 253 IP addresses on your network.
To configure the DHCP server:
1.Click LAN on the left navigation panel.
2.Click the DHCP Server tab.
3.In the Enable the DHCP Server? field, tick Yes.
4.In the IP Pool Starting Address field, key in the starting IP address.
5.In the IP Pool Ending Address field, key in the ending IP address.
6.In the Lease Time field, specify in seconds when an assigned IP address will expire. Once it reaches this time limit, the DHCP server will then assign a new IP address.
• ASUS recommeds that you use an IP address format of 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx can be any number between 2 and 254) when specifying an IP address range.
• An IP Pool Starting Address should not be greater than the IP Pool Ending Address.
