The SETUP Tab - BASIC SETUP - Static IP
If you are required to use a permanent IP address, then select Static IP.
Internet Connection Type
Internet IP Address. This is the IP address that the Router has when seen from the Internet. Your ISP will provide you with the IP address you need to specify here.
Subnet Mask. This is the Router’s Subnet Mask, as seen by external users on the Internet (including your ISP). Your ISP will provide you with the Subnet Mask.
Gateway. Your ISP will provide you with the Gateway Address.
Static DNS
Network Address Server Settings (DHCP)
DHCP Server. The Router can be used as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server for your network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on your network. Unless you already have one, it is highly recommended that you leave the Router enabled as a DHCP server. DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, set the Router’s DHCP option to Disable.
Starting IP Address. Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the default IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1. 2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254. The default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users (Optional). Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50.
Client Lease Time. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
IP Address Range. The IP Address Range is Static and cannot be changed.
