7.6 | Advanced Setup - LAN
This is the local IP address of the router. All networked computers must use the LAN IP address
of the router as their default Gateway. However, if necessary, it can be changed. Here you can
configure the LAN IP address for the router and enable/disable the DHCP server for dynamic
client address allocation. You can change the lease time if necessary as well. By default this is set
to “One Week”. The other options are Half Hour, One Hour, Two Hours, Half Day, One Day, Two
Days, and Forever. “Forever” signifies that there is no time limit on the IP address lease.
For the IP address pool, a dynamic IP address range may be specified (Default: 192.168.2.100-
199). Once the IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.2.100–199, have been assigned, these IP addresses
will be part of the dynamic IP address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2–99, and
192.168.2.200–254 will be available as static IP addresses. Remember not to include the address
of the Router in the client address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for dynamic
IP address allocation. Lastly, you can enter a local domain suffix in the Domain Name field.
You also have the option to configure more advanced settings by clicking the “More” button. You
can configure the router’s DHCP server to give out specific Primary and Secondary DNS, Primary
and Secondary WINS, and an alternate Gateway (in the event that the router is not the Internet
gateway).
