DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-802 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically
assign an IP address to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load
the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-802. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from
the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router.
Uncheck to disable this function.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
Note: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your
computers or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside
of this range or you may have an IP conict.
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease
time in minutes.
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their
IP addresses from the router’s DHCP server as expected,
this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the
computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the
router’s DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that
incorrectly turns o the broadcast ag of DHCP packets.
Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem, at
the cost of increased broadcast trac on the LAN.
Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to oer NetBIOS conguration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allow LAN hosts to
discover all other computers within the network, e.g. within Network Neighborhood.
If NetBIOS announcement is switched on, it will cause WINS information to be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this
setting o to congure manually.
