The modem router will work as a DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP
client connected to it. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server
gives out IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged
on to the network. That device must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address
automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the
range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network.

Because the default IP address for the modem router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP
Address is 192.168.1.100, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.100 or greater,
but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Count: The max user pool size.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease. After the dynamic IP address has
expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default
