How to set up the DHCP server on your router

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. The DHCP server is enabled by default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or if you do not want to use your router as a DHCP server, you should disable this setting.

To configure your router’s DHCP server settings:

Setup > Basic Setup > DHCP Server Settings

1.Log into the browser-based utility (see “How to open the browser-based utility” on page 14).

2.Click the Setup tab, then click the Basic Setup page.
