•Select Number of Client IP Addresses and enter the total number of contiguous IP addresses that the Router will distribute to the client machines on your local area network.

•Select 1st Client Address and enter the first client IP address that you will allocate to your first client machine. For instance, on your local area network you may want to first figure out which machines are going to be allocated specific static IP addresses so that you can determine the pool of IP addresses that you will be serving addresses from via DHCP, BootP, and/or Dynamic WAN.
