DHCP Server Settings

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP

Server (built-in to the router) will automatically assign an IP

address to the computers and devices on your 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-600L.

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.
