The router can be set up to be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on your network. A DHCP server hands out available IP addresses to each computer on your network automatically. If you choose to enable the DHCP server option, you must configure all of the PCs on your LAN to connect to a DHCP server. Talk to your network administrator or consult your operating system's documentation to learn how to do this.
If the router's DHCP server function is disabled, you have to carefully configure the IP address, Mask, and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Be careful not to assign the same IP Address to different computers.
Make any changes to the available fields as described below.
| Enable/Disable DHCP Server | Check the Enable option to enable the DHCP server option of the router. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, set the router's DHCP option to Disable. |
| Starting IP Address | Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. |
| No. of DHCP users | Enter the maximum number of computers that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. |
| DHCP Client Table | Click on the Client Table button to show the current DHCP Client information. You will see the related information (MAC Address, computer name, IP Address) of all network clients using the DHCP server. |
