7. LAN Setup
On the LAN Network Settings page (Network -> LAN Setup), you can set up LAN IP address; moreover,
you can enable DHCP Server function to assign IP addresses to users on the LAN.
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. MZK-W04NU Wireless Router has a built-in DHCP
server which can automatically assign an IP address to those computers/devices on the LAN/private net-
work. If you enable DHCP server, the client device will obtain an IP address automatically. Whenever you
turn on the computer, the client device will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from MZK-
W04NU. The DHCP server will allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting
computer, but you must specify the beginning and ending address of the IP address pool.
