DHCP Server | Enabled | You can enable or disable the |
|
| DHCP server. By enabling the |
|
| DHCP server the router will |
|
| automatically give your LAN clients |
|
| an IP address. If the DHCP is not |
|
| enabled then you’ll have to |
|
| manually set your LAN client’s IP |
|
| addresses; make sure the LAN |
|
| Client is in the same subnet as this |
|
| broadband router if you want the |
|
| router to be your LAN client’s |
|
| default gateway |
Lease Time |
| The DHCP when enabled will |
|
| temporarily give your LAN clients an |
|
| IP address. In the Lease Time |
|
| setting you can specify the time |
|
| period that the DHCP lends an IP |
|
| address to your LAN clients. The |
|
| DHCP will change your LAN client’s |
|
| IP address when this time threshold |
|
| period is reached |
IP Address Pool |
| You can select a particular IP |
|
| address range for your DHCP |
|
| server to issue IP addresses to your |
|
| LAN Clients. |
Note: By default the IP range is from: Start IP 192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199. If you want your PC to have a static/fixed IP address then you’ll have to choose an IP address outside this IP address Pool
