DHCP Server
Dynamic Pool Settings
The DHCP address pool defines the range of the IP address that can be assigned to stations in the network. A Dynamic Pool allows wireless stations
to receive an available IP with lease time control. If needed or required in the network, the DAP-2680 is capable of acting as a DHCP server.
Function Enable/Disable
Click the drop-down menu to enable or disable
the DAP-2680 functions as a DHCP server. By
default this feature is disabled.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

the network. This protocol simplifies network
management and allows new wireless devices
to receive IP addresses automatically without
the need to manually assign new IP addresses.

assignment on your network.
IP Pool Range (1-254)
Enter the number of IP addresses available for
