Start IP Address
The Start IP Address specifies the
starting IP address for the range of addresses assigned
by your Router when it functions as a DHCP server . (The
first IP address assigned by the Router will be randomly
selected within the range you specify .)
Because the Router’s default IP address is 192 .168 .1 .1,
the Start IP Address must be 192 .168 .1 .2 or greater, but
smaller than 192 .168 .1 .254 . The default Start IP Address is
192.168.1.100 .
Maximum Number of Users
Enter the maximum
number of computers that you want the DHCP server to
assign IP addresses to . This number cannot be greater
than 253 . The default is 50 .
IP Address Range
The range of available IP addresses is
displayed .
Client Lease Time
The Client Lease Time is the amount
of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address . Enter the
amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address . After the time is up, the user will
be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address, or
the lease will be renewed . The default is 0 minutes, which
means one day .
Static DNS 1-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) .
Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP
address . If you wish to use another, enter that IP address in
one of these fields . You can enter up to three DNS Server IP
addresses here . The Router will use these for quicker access
to functioning DNS servers .
WINS
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each computer’s interaction with the Internet . If
you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP address here .
Otherwise, leave this blank .

Setup > DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
feature . DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain
name to a dynamic Internet IP address . It is useful when
you are hosting your own website, File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) server, or other server behind the Router .
Before you can use this option, you need to sign
up for DDNS service with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.tzo.com . If you do not want to
use this option, keep the default, Disabled .
DDNS

DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select TZO.com .
The options available on the

screen will vary,
depending on which DDNS service provider you use .
