IP Address
Type in private IP address for connecting to a local private
Subnet Mask
Type in an address code that determines the size of the network.
(Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
Enable DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The
router by factory default acts a DHCP server for your network
so it automatically dispatch related IP settings to any local user
configured as a DHCP client. It is highly recommended that you
leave the router enabled as a DHCP server if you do not have a
DHCP server for your network.
You can configure the router to serve as a DHCP server for the
2nd subnet. Check the box to enable DHCP server setting.
Start IP Address
Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to start
with when issuing IP addresses. If the 2nd IP address of your
router is 220.135.240.1, the starting IP address must be
220.135.240.2 or greater, but smaller than 220.135.240.254.
IP Pool Counts
Enter the number of IP addresses in the pool. The maximum is
10. For example, if you type 3 and the 2nd IP address of your
router is 220.135.240.1, the range of IP address by the DHCP
server will be from 220.135.240.2 to 220.135.240.11.
Lease Time
It allows you to set the leased time for the specified PC.
Force DNS manual setting
Force router to use DNS servers in this page instead of DNS
servers given by the Internet Access server (PPPoE, PPTP,
L2TP or DHCP server).
Primary IP Address
You must specify a DNS server IP address here because your
ISP should provide you with usually more than one DNS Server.
If your ISP does not provide it, the router will automatically
apply default DNS Server IP address: 194.109.6.66 to this field.
