can assign IP addresses for use in the LAN. This number cannot
be greater than 254 minus th e starting IP address describ ed

Client Lease Time
The Client Lease Time is the amount of time an IP address is
valid. IP address leases are re newed automatically by your PC

minutes when the gateway is online.
LAN Static DNS (Do main Name Se rver) 1-3
