LAN Settings

Configure the gateway address of the router. To dynamically assign the IP address for clients' PCs,

enable the DHCP Server, set the lease time, and then specify the address range.

Valid IP addresses consist of four numbers, which are separated by periods. The first three fields are

the network portion ranging from 0 to 255, while the last field is the host portion ranging from 1 to

254.

IP address:

This is the router’s LAN port IP address (Your LAN clients' default gateway IP

address).

Subnet Mask:

Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment.

The Gateway acts as DHCP Server:

Check to enable the DHCP server.

IP Pool Starting Address:

Enter the first IP address assigned by the DHCP server.

IP Pool Ending Address:
