DHCP Settings

By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,

allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers

connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of

the router. IP addresses are assigned 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.

Use Router as DHCP Server

If another device on your network is the DHCP server, or if you manually configure the

network settings of all of your computers, clear the

Use Router as DHCP Server

check box

on the LAN Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.

Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the Starting IP Address and

Ending IP Address fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as

the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range

between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, 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 is the router’s LAN IP address.

•

Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Broadband Settings

screen; otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.

•

Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Broadband

Settings screen.

•

WINS server (Windows Internet Naming Service server) determines the IP address

associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list

of names and IP address of Windows computers on its local network. If you connect to a

remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This

procedure allows your computers to browse the network using the Network

Neighborhood feature of Windows.

Reserved IP Addresses

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 servers that require permanent IP settings.



To reserve an IP address:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > LAN Setup

. Then under Address Reservation,

click the

Add

button. The following screen displays:

3.

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 192.168.0.x.

4.

Type the MAC address of the computer or server.

Tip:

If the computer is on your network, it is listed on the same screen for your

convenience. Clicking the radio button for each entry in the attached

device list fills in the fields automatically with the computer’s MAC

address and name.

5.

Click

Apply

to enter the reserved address into the table.

Note:

The reserved address will not be 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.

QoS Setup

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some Internet

applications and online gaming, and to minimize the impact when the bandwidth is busy.



To set up QoS:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > QoS Setup

.

3.

Specify the following settings:

•

Enable WMM Wi-Fi multimedia settings

. WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of

the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities

depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio,

has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless

clients must also support WMM.

•

Turn Internet Access QoS On

. If you enable QoS, the QoS function works to

prioritize Internet access traffic. For the applications that exist in the drop-down list

(for example, Online Gaming, Ethernet LAN Port, or a specified MAC address), you

can modify the priority level by clicking the

Edit

button. You can also click the

Delete

button to erase the priority rule. Otherwise, you can define the priority policy for online

gaming, an application, a LAN port, or the computer’s MAC address by clicking the

Setup QoS rule

button.

•

Turn Bandwidth Control On

. To set up the total maximum uplink bandwidth, select

this check box.

4.

Click

Apply

to save the changes.
