•

•
Gateway IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)
•
DNS server IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)

If the DHCP service is not enabled on the router and no other DHCP server is available on
your network, you need to set your computers’ IP addresses manually or your computers are
not able to access the router.
Set Up Address Reservation

or device always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP
server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require
permanent IP settings.

In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the
Add
