ports of your wireless router.

DHCP Server

Your wireless router can act as a DHCP server , and
assign IP addresses to your clients automatically . This
function is enabled by default. The assigned IP
addressed will be within the range of IP pool that you
specify . It is a good security practice to set just enough
range of IP pool for the devices y ou want to connect to
this wireless network. This can bloc k other unintended
devices to enter your network.

• IP Pool Starting Address: Enter a v alue for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP
addresses. The default v alue is 192.168.62.12.

• IP P ool Ending Address: The maximum number of
PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to. This number cannot be greater than

253.

• Lease Time: Setting Lease Time f or shorter period,
such as one day or several hours , can free up IP
addresses frequently . How ev er , you ma y
experience brief network performance drag down or
stall when DHCP reassigning IP addresses to
clients. It also causes a computer’ s IP address
changed over time. If y ou will use some adv anced
router features, such as DMZ or client IP filters, you
may select longer time to avoid frequent re-set, or
you can use Static Host setting described below.
