Using the DHCP Server
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the WNHD3004 are satisfactory.
Click the link to the online document
“TCP/IP Networking Basics” in Appendix B for an
explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
By default, the DHCP server of WNHD3004 is disabled. You can enable it to assign IP, DNS
server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default
gateway address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is
assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending IP
address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP
address.
Optimizing Wireless Performance
The speed and operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based
on the physical placement of the wireless router. You should choose a location for your router that
will maximize the network speed.
The following list describes how to optimize wireless router performance.
Warning: If two DHCP servers in a network are configured to give out conflicting
addresses, the network will crash an none of the devices on the network will
be able to use it until one of the DHCP servers is removed from the network.
Be sure to avoid DHCP server conflicts with the DHCP server in your router
by having them manage different address ranges in the same subnet.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation
or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range and
performance specifications, click the link to the online document

Networking Basics” in Appendix B .
