By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and the
router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client devices
from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of DHCP Server if necessary,
and you can reserve LAN IP addresses for specified client devices.

• DHCP Server - Enable or disable the DHCP server. If disabled, you must have another

• Start IP Address - Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to start with when
assigning IP addresses.
• End IP Address - Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to end with when assigning
IP addresses.
• Lease Time - The Address Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be
allowed to connect to the router with the current dynamic IP Address. When time is

the router.
