Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool
By default, the
router
acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The
router
assigns
IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN and WiFi
network. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the
router
.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the
router
’s LAN IP address.The default
DHCP address pool is 192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254.
The
router
delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
