LAN

Assign a static IP address that is within

the IP address range of your network.

Enter the subnet mask. All devices

in the network must share the same

subnet mask.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control

Protocol. The DHCP server assigns IP

addresses to devices on the network

that request them. These devices

must be set to “Obtain the IP address

automatically”. By default, the DHCP

Server is enabled on the DWL-3150

when you select

Wireless WAN

mode.

The DHCP address pool contains

the range of the IP address that will

automatically be assigned to the clients

on the network.

The starting and ending IP address for

the DHCP server’s IP assignment.

The Lease Time is the period of time

before the DHCP server will assign new

IP addresses.

Enter the domain name, if applicable. An example of a domain name is: www.dlink.com.

When DNS Relay is enabled, DHCP clients of the router will be assigned the router’s LAN IP address as their DNS server.

All DNS requests that the router receives will be forwarded to your ISPs DNS servers. When DNS relay is disabled, all

DHCP clients of the router will be assigned the ISP DNS server.

DHCP Reservations allow the router to assign the same IP address to a specific device on your network. The specified

device will get the same DHCP IP address information every time it is turned on or requests an IP address. No other

computer on your network will receive the specified static DHCP address. DHCP Reservations are very helpful when

used for server computers on your network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP.

Select Enabled to configure a DHCP Reservation. If you wish to disable this DHCP Reservation at a later date, click the edit

icon next to the entry in the DHCP Reservation List, select the Disabled radio button, and then click Save Settings.

Client computers with DHCP Reservations will have their information displayed in the DHCP Reservations List. The table

will show the Host Name, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time of the DHCP lease for each client computer.

The Hostname of the network device you are configuring DHCP Reservation for.

Enter the last octet of the IP address that you are configuring the network device to always obtain.

Enter the MAC address of the network device you are configuring a DHCP Reservation for.

This is a list of the computers or other devices for which you have created reserved DHCP entries. You can enable

and disable entries with the Enabled checkbox. A DHCP Reservation entry can be changed by clicking the Edit

icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the “DHCP

Reservations” section is activated for editing.

In this section you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses.

The DWL-3150 supports 2.4GHz radio with two antennas. Radio is connected to each antenna and supports auto

diversity mode by default. This means that the access point will auto switch to the antenna with better RSSI value.
