CONFIGURING YOUR DHCP SERVER

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The router has a built-in DHCP server which will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN.

The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
