Indicates the channel setting for the DSL-2770L. By default the channel

is set to 6. The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an

existing wireless network or to customize the wireless network. If you

- Select if you are using both 802.11g and 802.11b

wireless clients.

•.N.Only

- Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.

•.B/G/N.Mixed.

Select

Invisible

if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to

be broadcasted by the DSL-2770L. If Invisible is selected, the SSID of the

DSL-2770L will not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients

will have to know the SSID of your DSL-2770L in order to connect to it.

Enabling AP Isolation prevents wireless clients from being able to

communicate with one another. This can be useful when providing an

Internet connection for many wireless clients, but keeping their traffic

and devices private from other users.

If you clicked

Manual.Wireless.Network.Setup

on the

Wireless.Settings.

page, you will see this screen. Here, you can configure

the wireless network settings of your router. After making your changes, click the

DHCP Server Settings (Optional)

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DSL-2770L 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 DSL-2770L. 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.

Check this box to enable the DHCP server on your router. Uncheck to

disable this function.

Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP server’s IP

assignment.

Note

: If you statically (manually) assign IP addresses to your computers

or devices, make sure the IP addresses are outside of this range or you

may have an IP conflict.

The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time in

minutes.

Check the box to allow the DSL-2770L to act as a DHCP relay.

If DHCP Relay is enabled, enter the IP address of the DHCP server to relay.
