WINS server, short for Windows Internet Naming Service Server, determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of
names and IP addresses of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote
network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your PCs
to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receive
the same IP address when it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be
assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1. In the Address Reservation section on the LAN IP Setup screen, click Add.
2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 10.1.1.x.
3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer
contacts the router’s DHCP server. You can reboot the computer, or access its
IP configuration, to force a DHCP release and renew.
