Using the Wireless Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:
❑Enable or Disable the Wireless Router's DHCP Server function.
❑Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
Note
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than the Wireless Router's, the following procedure is required.
1.Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This setting is on the LAN screen.
2.Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IP Address as the Default Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME. See PC Configuration on page 47 for the procedure to check these settings.
