DHCP Server
The DHCP server function makes setting up a network very easy by
assigning IP addresses to each computer on the network automatically.
The default setting is “On”. The DHCP server can be turned OFF if
necessary; however, in order to do so you must manually set a static IP
address for each computer on your network. To turn off the DHCP server,
select “Off” and click “Apply Changes”.
4.
IP Pool
The range of IP addresses set aside for dynamic assignment to the
computers on your network. The default is 2–100 (99 computers). If you
want to change this number, you can do so by entering a new starting
and ending IP address and clicking on “Apply Changes”. The DHCP
server can assign 100 IP addresses automatically. This means that
you cannot specify an IP address pool larger than 100 computers. For
example, starting at 50 means you have to end at 150 or lower so as not
to exceed the 100-client limit. The starting IP address must be lower in
number than the ending IP address.
5.
Lease Time
The length of time the DHCP server will reserve the IP address for each
computer. We recommend that you leave the lease time set to “Forever”.
The default setting is “Forever”, meaning that any time a computer is
assigned an IP address by the DHCP server, the IP address will not
change for that particular computer. Setting lease times for shorter
intervals such as one day or one hour frees IP addresses after the
specified period of time. This also means that a particular computer’s
IP address may change over time. If you have set any of the other
advanced features of the Router such as DMZ or client IP filters, these
are dependent on the IP address. For this reason, you will not want the
IP address to change.
6.
Local Domain Name
The default setting is “Belkin”. You can set a local domain name (network
name) for your network. There is no need to change this setting unless
you have a specific advanced need to do so. You can name the network
anything you want such as “MY NETWORK”.

Viewing the DHCP Client List Page
You can view a list of the computers (known as clients), which are connected to your
network. You are able to view the IP address
(1)
of the computer, the host name
(2)
(if the computer has been assigned one), and the MAC address
(3)
of the computer’s
network interface card (NIC). Pressing the “Refresh”
(4)
button will update the list. If
there have been any changes, the list will be updated.

Configuring the Wireless Network Settings
The “Wireless” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings.
From this tab you can make changes to the wireless network name (SSID),
operating channel, encryption security settings, and configure the Router to
be used as an access point.

Using the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
Changing the Wireless Network Name (SSID)
To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set Identifier) is
used. The SSID is your network name. The default network name of the Router is
“Belkin G Plus MIMO_” followed by six digits that are unique to your Router. Your
network name will look something like “Belkin G Plus MIMO_012345”. You can
change this to anything you choose, or you can leave it unchanged. Keep in mind,
if you decide to change your wireless network name, and there are other wireless
networks operating in your area, your network name needs to be different from other
wireless networks that may be operating in your area. To change the SSID, type in
the SSID that you want to use in the SSID field
(1)
and click “Apply Changes”. The
change is immediate. If you make a change to the SSID, your wireless-equipped
computers may also need to be reconfigured to connect to your new network name.
Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter for information on
making this change.

Using the Wireless Mode Switch
This switch allows you to set the Router’s wireless modes. There are
three modes.
1) 802.11g only
Setting the Router to this mode will allow only G Plus MIMO and
802.11g-compliant devices to join the network, keeping out any
slower 802.11b devices.
2) 802.11g & 802.11b
Setting the Router to this mode will let G Plus MIMO-, 802.11g-, and
802.11b-compliant devices to join the network.
3) Off
This mode will turn OFF the Router’s access point, so no wireless
devices can join the network. Turning off the wireless function of your
Router is a great way to secure your network when you are away
from home for a long period of time, or don’t want to use the wireless
feature of the Router at a certain time.
