The LAN Information section on the Local Network page displays details about the Gateway
Address, Subnet Mask, DHCP details (Server, DHCP Beginning Address and DHCP Ending
Address) and DNS details.
Clients connected to the LAN side, which are connected via wired or wireless, get IP addresses
from the DHCP server running on the gateway. The beginning and end IP address define how
many clients can be connected to the gateway (or the number of valid IP addresses that can be
assigned). The gateway address of 192.168.0.1 is the default IP address; it is user configurable.
The user can modify the LAN configuration including the number of IP addresses. If a client
needs to be assigned with a static address, the user has to select the static IP option and enter
the MAC address of the client that needs the static IP address.
The life time of the DHCP address is defined in the DHCP lease time and again it is user
configurable. By default, the lease time is 86400 seconds.
