Customizing Your Network Settings

5-4

By default, the router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default 
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway 
address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers 
from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to 
avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.

For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. Click 
the link to the online document 

 for an explanation of 

DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. 

Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending IP 
address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP 
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 
192.168.1.254, although you might wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

•

An IP address from the range you have defined

•

Subnet mask

•

Gateway IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)

•

Primary DNS server 

To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to manually specify the network 
settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box. Otherwise, 
leave it selected. If this service is not selected and no other DHCP server is available on your 
network, you need to set your computers’ IP addresses manually or they will not be able to access 
the router.

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always 
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP 
addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings. 

To reserve an IP address: 

1. 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 192.168.1.x.)
