Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router MBRN3000
DHCP Settings
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (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. IP addresses is assigned to the attached PCs 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.
See the online document listed in
"Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:
"
in
Appendix
B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses
for your network.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check
box on the LAN IP Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the
Starting IP Address
and
Ending IP Address
fields. 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 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the
range for devices with fixed addresses.
