DHCP Server
If you select DPCP Server as DHCP Mode, the DHCP server of the gateway will assign
IP addresses to the LAN clients. Configure the following parameters.
Status:
Check the box to enable DHCP Server.
Starting IP Address / Ending IP Address:
Enter the starting IP address and ending IP
address of the DHCP server’s IP pool. The IP pool defines the range of IP addresses
that can be assigned to the LAN clients. Note that the starting IP address and ending
IP address should be in the same subnet as the IP address of the LAN port.
Lease Time:
Specify the lease time for DHCP clients. Lease time defines how long the
clients can use the IP address assigned by the DHCP server. Generally, the client will
automatically request the DHCP server for extending the lease time before the lease
expired. If the request fails, the client will have to stop using that IP address when the
lease finally expired, and try to get a new IP address from another DHCP server.
Default Gateway:
(Optional) Enter the default gateway which is assigned by the DHCP
server. It is recommended to enter the IP address of the LAN port.

Primary DNS / Secondary DNS:
(Optional) Enter the DNS server address provided by
your ISP. If you are not clear, please consult your ISP.
Option60:
(Optional) Enter the value for DHCP Option 60. DHCP clients use this field
to optionally identify the vendor type and configuration of a DHCP client. Mostly, it
is used in the scenario where the APs apply for different IP addresses from different
servers according to the needs. For detailed information, please consult the vendor.
For TP-Link, this entry should be TP-Link.
