Wireless N300 High power Router 1.7 DHCP Server 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 of manual intervention. Just be sure to set all computers on your LAN to be DHCP clients by selecting "Obtain an IP Address Automatically" respectively on each such PC. When turned on, these PCs will automatically load IP information from the DHCP server. (This feature is enabled by default. Do NOT disable it unless necessary). 1.8 DHCP Client List DHCP Client List displays information of devices that have obtained IP addresses from the device's DHCP Server. If you would like some devices on your network to always get the same IP addresses, you can manually add a static DHCP reservation entry for each such device.  IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP reservation.  MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always receive the same IP address (the IP you just specified).  Add: Click to add the entry to the MAC address reservation list.  OK: Click to save your settings. Note: If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by another client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP address from the device's DHCP server, instead, you must manually specify a different IP address for your PC to access the Internet. 1. 9

1.7 DHCP Server
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 of manual intervention. Just be sure to set all computers on your LAN to be DHCP clients by selecting
"Obtain an IP Address Automatically" respectively on each such PC. When turned on, these PCs will automatically load IP information from the
DHCP server. (This feature is enabled by default. Do NOT disable it unless necessary).
1.8 DHCP Client List
DHCP Client List displays information of devices that have obtained IP addresses from the device’s DHCP Server. If you would
like some
devices on your network to always get the same IP addresses, you can manually add a static DHCP reservation entry for each such device.
IP Address:
Enter the IP address for static DHCP reservation.
MAC Address:
Enter the MAC address of a computer to always receive the same IP address (the IP you just specified).
Add:
Click to add the entry to the MAC address reservation list.
OK:
Click to save your settings.
Note:
If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by another client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP address from the
device's DHCP server, instead, you must manually specify a different IP address for your PC to access the Internet.
