factory default IP address matches that of the WR850).

ENABLING THE WR850 BUILT-IN DHCP SERVER

Field Description

DHCP Server:

(ADVANCED)

Sets the method by which IP addresses are assigned to devices that

interface with the WR850 via the LAN connections (or “clients”).

Selecting

Enabled engages the Dynamic Host Configuration

Protocol (DHCP) server, which can dynamically assign (or

“lease”) IP addresses to clients.

Selecting

Disabled disengages the DHCP server, requiring

that you manually assign unique and permanent (or “static”)

IP addresses to clients.

NOTE: The built-in DHCP Server is a router function. Therefore, this

field, and the related DHCP Server fields below, are disabled or
ignored if the Operation Mode on the BASIC Page is set to
Access Point.

NOTE: You will need to disable the DHCP Server, and assign static IP

addresses, if you wish to use features on the ROUTING Page.

FACTORY DEFAULT:

Enabled

DHCP Starting

IP Address:

(ADVANCED)

Sets the start of the IP address range that the DHCP server will

lease to clients.

NOTE: This field is ignored if the DHCP Server (above) is Disabled.

FACTORY DEFAULT:

192.168.10.2
