Use Router as a DHCP Server
Usually, this check box is selected so that the router functions as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
•
Starting IP Address
. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
•
Ending IP Address
. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP
addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. See
Address Reservation
on
page
42.
Use the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that can be assigned by setting the starting IP
address and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address
subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range
between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range
for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range you have defined
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)
•
Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address)
•
Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup
screen)
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to specify the network
settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check box and click
Apply
. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If this service is not enabled and no other
DHCP server is available on your network, set your computers’ IP addresses manually so
that they can access the router.

Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1.
In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the
Add
button.
2.
In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an
IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.)
3.
Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip:
If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
4.
Click
Apply
to enter the reserved address into the table.
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the
router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and force a
DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry, select the radio button next to the reserved
address you want to edit or delete. Then click
Edit
or
Delete
.
Quality of Service (QoS) Setup
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of
others. The WNDR3700v4 router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on
the Internet connection.
To configure QoS:
Select
Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup
to display the following screen:

Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications
The WNDR3700v4 router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to
prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides
prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require
QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and
video.
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the
Enable WMM
check box and clicking
Apply
.
Note:
If you clear the Enable WMM check box, you cannot get 11N
throughput.
Set Up QoS for Internet Access
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:
•
Specific applications
•
Specific online games
•
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router
•
A specific device by MAC address
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.
QoS for Applications and Online Gaming
To create a QoS policy for applications and online games:
1.
In the QoS Setup screen, select the
Turn Internet Access QoS On
check box.

2.
Click the
Setup QoS Rule
button to see the QoS Priority Rule list.
You can edit or delete a rule by selecting its radio button and clicking either the
Edit
or
Delete
button. You can also delete all the rules by clicking the
Delete All
button.
