Set up the DHCP server on your router

Advanced > Setup > LAN Settings

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to

automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. The

DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. If you already have a DHCP server on

your network, or if you do not want to use your router as a DHCP server, you can disable

this setting. It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

LAN Settings

3. Review the DHCP Server settings. Click

Apply

to save settings.

•

DHCP Server:

Enable or Disable the DHCP server.

•

DHCP Start IP:

Changes the starting address for the DHCP server range.

(

e.g.

192.168.10.20)

•

DHCP End IP:

Changes the ending address for the DHCP server range.

(

e.g.

192.168.10.30)

Note:

The Start IP and End IP specify the range of IP addresses to automatically

assign to computers or devices on your network.

•

DHCP Lease Time

– Enter the DHCP lease time in minutes.

Note:

The DHCP lease time is the amount of time a computer or device can keep

an IP address assigned by the DHCP server. When the lease time expires, the

computer or device will renew the IP address lease with the DHCP server,

otherwise, if there is no attempt to renew the lease, the DHCP server will

reallocate the IP address to be assigned to another computer or device.

You can also view the current DHCP clients in the

Set up DHCP reservation

Advanced > Setup > LAN Settings

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) reservation (also called Static DHCP) allows

your router to assign a fixed IP address from the DHCP server IP address range to a

specific device on your network. Assigning a fixed IP address can allow you to easily

keep track of the IP addresses used on your network by your computers or devices for

future reference or configuration such as virtual server (also called port forwarding, see

“

Virtual Server

” on page 36) or special applications (also called port triggering, see

“

Special Applications

” on page 38).

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

Identify your network on the Internet

Advanced > Setup > Management

Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on

your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet

requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this

management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the

given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability

to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your

ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify

your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and

other devices on your local area network.

Note:

First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in the

Server Address

drop-down list

1. Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under

Server Address

(e.g

. no-ip.com,

etc.)

2. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

3. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

Management

4. Review the

DDNS Settings

section. Click

Save Settings

to save settings.

•

Dynamic DNS Provider Server:

Click the drop-down list Select your DDNS service.

•

Host Name:

Personal URL provided to you by your Dynamic DNS service provider

(e.g. www.trendnet.dyndns.biz)

•

Account:

The user name needed to log in to your Dynamic DNS service account

•

Password:

This is the password to gain access to Dynamic DNS service for which

you have signed up to. (NOT your router or wireless network password)
