Networking - DHCP Server
The Domain Host Control Protocol (DHCP) server automatically
assigns IP addresses to all the clients on your network, relieving you
of the responsibility for issuing separate IP addresses.
It is highly
recommended that you administer your network using the DHCP
function.
The PCs must be configured to “Obtain an IP Address
Automatically.” See the
Installation
section of this User Guide for
further details.

Description
LAN MAC
Address
Displays the LAN MAC address of the router.
This field cannot be edited.
LAN Private IP
Enables you to create your own private IP
network.
Enter an IP address string that you will use for
your network. Because it is a private network,
your router gives you the ability to choose any
string you prefer.
The default is 192.168.10.1

Field
Description
LAN Subnet Mask
Enables you to create your own Subnet Mask
for your network. The Subnet Mask determines
which portion of a destination LAN IP address
is the network portion and which portion is the
host portion.
Enter a Subnet Mask address that you will use
for your network.
The default is 255.255.255.0

only run one DHCP server on your network.
The default is enabled.
Address Pool
Begins
Based on what is entered in the LAN Private IP
field, the number entered here is where the
router starts handing out IP numbers. So,
using the default IP address, the next number
provided would be 192.168.10.2.
The default is 2.
Address Pool Size
You are able to reserve up to 253 slots on your
DHCP server for potential clients. For example,
when using the router’s default IP of
192.168.10.1, then all numbers up to
192.168.10.254 are available for use.
If you want to make available every number,
enter 253.
The default is 50.

Networking - DNS Proxy
This feature is used only on your Private network. The feature

using the Domain Name System (DNS).
This feature can be used to add the mappings between a Static IP
Address and a Host Name. This is most useful for devices like printer
servers.

your own web server, FTP server, or another server behind the
router. Before you can use this feature, you must sign up for DDNS
service at a DDNS service provider, such as
www.dyndns.org
or
www.changeip.com
