Client Tables Screen

You can configure the NBG6817’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server,

the NBG6817 assigns IP addresses to the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have

another DHCP server on that network, or else the computer must be manually configured.

Use this screen to view the online clients information (including Host Name, IP Address, MAC

Address, Interface/Rssi, and Lease time) of all network clients using the NBG6817’s DHCP server.
