1.7 DHCP Server
The
Dynamic
Host
Configuration
Protocol
(DHCP)
is
an
automatic
configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the built-in DHCP
server on the device, it will automatically configure the TCP/IP settings for all
your LAN computers (including IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc),
eliminating the need of manual intervention. Just be sure to set all computers on
your LAN to be DHCP clients by selecting "Obtain an IP Address
Automatically" respectively on each such PC. When turned on, these PCs will
automatically load IP information from the DHCP server. (This feature is
enabled by default. Do NOT disable it unless necessary).
1.8 DHCP Client List
DHCP Client List displays information of devices that have obtained IP
addresses from the device’s DHCP Server. If you would like some devices on
your network to always get the same IP addresses, you can manually add a static
DHCP reservation entry for each such device.

Note:
If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by another
client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP address from the device's
DHCP server, instead, you must manually specify a different IP address for your
PC to access Internet.
