DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The WRTB-283N has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will
automatically assign an IP address
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain
an IP
Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the WRTB-
283N. The
DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the
starting
and ending address of the IP address pool.
