DHCP Configuration Options
DHCP Server:
When
Enabled
, the router will operate as a DHCP server to handle DHCP requests received from
connected LAN-side hosts (DHCP clients). The DHCP server does not serve WAN-side DHCP
clients.
Start IP Range:
Specifies the beginning IP address of the range of addresses from which the DHCP server will lease
to requesting DHCP clients. This value must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-
decimal notation
(e.g., 192.168.254.1).
End IP Range:
Specifies the beginning IP address of the range of addresses from which the DHCP server will lease
to requesting DHCP clients. This value must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-
decimal notation
(e.g., 192.168.254.1).
IP Netmask:
Specifies the IP subnet mask that corresponds to the range of IP addresses defined above. This value
must be entered as an IPv4 subnet mask in
dotted-decimal notation

Specifies that the SpeedStream router is to be used as the default gateway.

must be entered as an IPv4 address expressed in
dotted-decimal notation
(e.g., 192.168.254.254).

Specifies that the DNS server address received from the WAN-side DHCP server is to be provided to
