When any change is made on this page, you MUST restart all
PCs to update their TCP/IP settings from this DHCP server.
Adding incorrect routing information can affect the
connection, a local host, or the whole private network. You
must have experience working with routing tables before
using this option.
DHCP Server Setting
This page allows you to set up configurations of DHCP server built in the router. The DHCP server of
this router provides IP addresses, the subnet mask, the gateway address, and DNS server addresses
to the LAN computers and devices dynamically. The default IP address space of this DHCP server is
192.168.0.x, with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, and the default gateway of this network is the IP
address of this router (192.168.0.1).
It's highly recommended you use this router as the DHCP server; unless you already have a DHCP
server on the network.
The DHCP server comes with two default IP lease ranges. To add a new dynamic IP range for lease,
click the “Show Current IP Ranges” section.
To view the current dynamic IP assignments from the DHCP server, click “Show IP Lease Table (Show
DHCP leases”.
To assign a fixed-IP for a certain host on private network, click “Show Fixed-IP Table”.

Note
Static Routing
This page mainly allows you to define a static routing entry in the internal routing table of the router. If
the private LAN has internal routers, their addresses and network information will need to be entered
into this router to find the correct data path when it routes network packets. Static routes are generally
used if the LAN are segmented into subnets, either for size or practical considerations.
Most of users who are using the whole IP address space without sub networks don't have to enter any
entry in this table. The router automatically updates its internal routing table and dynamically notifies
other routers on the network by sending out RIP (Routing Information Protocol) information. This router
supports RIP I and RIP II standards.
To add a new static routing path, click “View or Add Static Routing Table” link.
