Check to enable the DHCP server feature of your access point. Enabling DHCP is the
best option for most users. The following options will be enabled once you have checked
and enabled the DHCP server.
Enter the first and last IP addresses of the range of addresses that your access point will
make available to DHCP clients. The default range is from 192.168.1.100 to
192.168.1.200, with 24-bit subnet mask.
Enter the broadcast address that DHCP clients will use when communicating with the
entire LAN segment. The default value is 192.168.1.255.
Enter the default gateway address that DHCP clients will use to access the internet. By
default, this address will be the same as your access point’s IP address on the LAN.
In DNS 1, enter the IP address of the primary DNS server offered to DNS clients or
accept the default of 192.168.1.1, which is your access point’s address on the LAN. You
can also specify up to two additional DNS servers to use when the primary server is busy
or down.
Specify the length of time that an IP address of a DHCP client remains valid. When an
address lease time has expired, the assigned IP address is no longer valid, and renewal
of the IP address assignment is required. By default, this value is set to one day.
To reserve certain addresses for specific clients, such as network printers, enter the
device’s MAC Address and a static IP to be assigned to the device. Click to add
the DHCP reservation. To delete a DHCP reservation, click .
