Purpose: View and change host name, subnet mask, and LAN IP address, and enable
DNS (Domain Name System) proxy.
Host Name Name identifying the router on the network.
LAN IP address IP address of the router on the network (when router is in
router mode). This IP address determines which IP addresses
are used by other devices on your local network.
Subnet Mask The subnet mask controls which subnet the computers
connected to the router belong to. In most cases, the default
value of 255.255.255.0 is sufficient as it allows up to 255
unique devices on the network.
Enable DNS Proxy Enable for LAN-side clients to use the router to relay DNS
queries to the Internet.
Enable as the Local
Master Browser The local master browser works on a subnet providing a
resource list of available clients.

computers dynamically (when your router is in router mode).
DHCP IP Address Range Range of IP addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP
server.
DHCP Lease Time Amount of time for which the device or computer leases the
DHCP address. If the client does not renew the lease before it
expires, the IP address returns to the pool for other clients.
Enable DHCP Server Enable the server that provides an IP address to the LAN-side
computers dynamically.
Local Domain Name You can append a local domain name to your clients' Internet
requests to avoid entering the complete address of commonly
used Internet domains.
