Configure DHCP range:
5. Select your DHCP range by entering a
Starting IP
and
Ending IP
.
Note: The number of concurrently connected devices will be limited by the range
you select. For instance, if you select 101 to 120, then only twenty devices can be
connected to your mAX router at one time because only twenty IP addresses are
available.
Configure LAN DHCP Lease time
A Lease Time is the amount of time that your device waits before asking your mAX router
for a new IP address. This ensures that IP addresses are not kept assigned to devices that
are no longer on the network. You might need to modify this value if you have a various
devices which are only on your mAX home network for a short period of time or you want to
increase the amount of time an IP address is assigned to your devices.
