Start IP Address
Enter a value for the DHCP server to
start with when issuing IP addresses. 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 192.168.1.253.
The default is
192.1.1.100
.

number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign
IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253.

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. The
default is
0
minutes, which means one day.
Statc DNS 1-3
These settings are available if you
selected Mode 3 - Manual configuration for the DHCP
Server Setting. The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the
Internet translates domain or website names into Internet
addresses or 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 0-1

Mode 3 - Manual configuration for the DHCP Server
Setting. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you
use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP address. You can
enter up to two WINS server IP addresses here. Otherwise,
leave these fields blank.
