DHCP Server Setting
This page allows you to set up configurations of DHCP server built in the router. The DHCP server of this router provides IP addresses, the subnet mask, the gateway address, and DNS server addresses to the LAN computers and devices dynamically. The default IP address space of this DHCP server is 192.168.0.x, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway of this network is the IP address of this router (192.168.0.1).
It's highly recommended you use this router as the DHCP server; unless you already have a DHCP server on the network.
The DHCP server comes with two default IP lease ranges. To add a new dynamic IP range for lease, click the “Show Current IP Ranges” section.
To view the current dynamic IP assignments from the DHCP server, click “Show IP Lease Table (Show DHCP leases”.

Static Routing
This page mainly allows you to define a static routing entry in the internal routing table of the router. If the private LAN has internal routers, their addresses and network information will need to be entered into this router to find the correct data path when it routes network packets. Static routes are generally used if the LAN are segmented into subnets, either for size or practical considerations.
Most of users who are using the whole IP address space without sub networks don't have to enter any entry in this table. The router automatically updates its internal routing table and dynamically notifies other routers on the network by sending out RIP (Routing Information Protocol) information. This router supports RIP I and RIP II standards.
To add a new static routing path, click “View or Add Static Routing Table” link.
Note
Adding incorrect routing information can affect the connection, a local host, or the whole private network. You must have experience working with routing tables before using this option.
