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.
