IPv4
The router’s Local IP Address and Subnet Mask appear here. In most cases, you can keep the defaults.
Local IP Address The default value is 192.168.1.1.
Subnet Mask The default value is 255.255.255.0.
Server Settings (DHCP)
You can use the router as your network’s DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, which automatically assigns an IP address to each PC on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you leave the router enabled as a DHCP server.
DHCP Server DHCP is already enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or if you don’t want a DHCP server, then select Disabled (no other DHCP features will be available). If you already have a DHCP server on your network, and you want this router to act as a Relay for that DHCP Server, select DHCP Relay, then enter the DHCP Server IP Address. If you disable DHCP, assign a static IP address to the router.
Starting IP Address Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when it issues IP addresses. This value must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254, because the default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.1, and 192.168.1.255 is the broadcast IP address.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. In order to determine the DHCP IP Address range, add the starting IP address (e.g., 100) to the number of DHCP users.
Client Lease Time The amount of time a DHCP client can keep the assigned IP address before it sends a renewal request to the DHCP server.
Static DNS
WINS The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) provides name resolution service (similar to DNS) in Windows networks. If you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
