DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The

DIR-300 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server

will automatically assign an IP address to the computers on

the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers

to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to

“Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn

your computers on, they will automatically load the proper

TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-300. The DHCP

Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address

from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You

must specify the starting and ending address of the IP

address pool.
