Using the Configuration Menu
DHCP Client:
This is a list of the computers or other devices for which you
have created Static DHCP entries. You can enable and disable
entries with the Enabled checkbox. A Static DHCP entry can
be changed by clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the
Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted,
and the “Static DHCP” section is activated for editing.
MAC Address:
To input the MAC address of your computer, enter it in manually
or connect to the router’s Web-Management interface from the
computer and click the Clone Your PC button.
Always Broadcast:
If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses
from the router’s DHCP server as expected, this option can remain
disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain
an IP address from the router’s DHCP server, it may have an old
DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP
packets. Enabling this option will cause the router to always broad-
cast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem,
at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN.
Computer Name:
You can assign a name for each computer that is given a static
IP address. This may help you keep track of which computers
are assigned this way.
IP Address:
The LAN address that you want to reserve.
Static DHCP:
In this section you can add reserved IP address to the Static
DHCP Client List below or edit existing entries. Each entry in
the table lets you reserve an IP addresses, and assign the
same IP address to the network device with the specified
MAC address any time it requests an IP address.
