Super G Wireless Router WGT624 v4 User Manual
5-12 Advanced Configuration
v1.0, July 2008
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See
“Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B” for a link to a tutorial that provides
an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use router as DHCP server check box.
Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending IP
address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.1.2 and
192.168.1.253, although you might wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router will deliver the following information to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range you have defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP Address (the router’s LAN IP address)
• Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address)
• Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen
Using Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always
receive the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses
should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
