4.2.3 DHCP Settings

“DHCP” includes 3 submenus: DHCP Server, Client List and Static Assignment. Clicking any of them enters corresponding interface for configuration. Below explains, in details, each such feature.

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the built-in DHCP server on the device, it will automatically configure the TCP/IP settings for all your LAN computers (including IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc), eliminating the need for manual intervention. Just be sure to set such PCs to DHCP clients by selecting “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” on each such PC. When you turn these PCs on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the device DHCP server.

Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N600 Gigabit Router

 DHCP Server-Enable: Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable the

device’s DHCP server feature.

assignment.

 End IP Address: Enter the ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP

assignment.

 Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease. Configuring a proper

lease time improves the efficiency for the DHCP server to reclaim disused IP addresses.

 Primary DNS Server: Enter a DNS server address assigned to DHCP clients.  Secondary DNS Server: Enter the other DNS address assigned to DHCP clients

(optional). To benefit from the DHCP server feature, you must set all LAN PCs to DHCP clients by selecting the “Obtain an IP Address Automatically” radio buttons thereon.

DHCP Client List

This section displays a DHCP dynamic client list, which includes host name, IP address, MAC address and lease time info.

 IP Address: Displays IP address(es) that client(s) obtained from the DHCP

server.

 MAC Address: Displays MAC address of a given host.  Host name: Displays name of a given host (DHCP client).  Lease Time: Remaining time for a corresponding IP address lease.

Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N600 Gigabit Router

Static Assignment

If you would like some devices on your network to always have fixed IP addresses, you can use this feature and manually add a static DHCP assignment entry for each such device. For example: To have a PC at the MAC address of 00:15:58:c0:d4:3f always receive the same IP address of 192.168.0.150, simply enter the IP and MAC addresses in corresponding fields and click “Add” and then the “Save” button as shown below.

 IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP assignment.  MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always receive the same

IP address (the IP you just entered above).

 Add: Click to add the current IP-MAC static assignment entry to the list.  Edit: Click to change a given static assignment entry.  Delete: Click to remove an existing entry.

4.2.4 WAN Port

“WAN Port” includes 2 submenus: MAC Clone, and Speed/Duplex. Clicking either tab enters corresponding interface for configuration. Below explains, in details, each such feature.

MAC Clone

This section allows you to set router’s WAN MAC address. You can either manually enter a MAC or copy your PC’s MAC to the router.

Concurrent Dual Band Wireless N600 Gigabit Router

 WAN MAC Address: Displays router's current WAN MAC address, you can

manually change it.  Restore to Factory Default MAC: Click it to restore router’s WAN MAC to factory

default value.

 Clone MAC: Click to copy your PC’s MAC to router’s WAN MAC Address field.

NOTE:

1. Normally you don't need to change the default WAN MAC value. However, some ISP may bind client PC’s MAC address for Internet connection authentication. In this case, simply enter such MAC in the WAN MAC Address field or click the “Clone MAC” button. Note that the WAN MAC address in running status interface will be updated accordingly.

2. Do remember to reboot the router to activate the new WAN MAC. DO NOT use the “Clone MAC” feature if your ISP does not bind your PC’s MAC.

Speed/Duplex

This section allows you to config the router’s WAN port speed/duplex settings.

You can select a WAN port speed/duplex mode that best suit your network environment from the drop-down list, which includes auto, 10M half-duplex, 10M full-duplex, 100M half-duplex, 100M full-duplex, 1000M half-duplex and 1000M full-duplex.

Note:

The WAN port speed/duplex mode must match that of its link partner to achieve successful communication; otherwise, the WAN port may not function properly. So, if you are not sure about the link partner’s speed/duplex mode, please select “Auto”.
