Reference Guide for the Model MR314 Cable/DSL Wireless Router Table 5-2 lists and describes the fields to use for setting up DHCP parameters.. Table 5-2. DHCP Setup Fields Field DHCP Server: Pool Starting Address Count Primary DNS Server Secondary DNS Server Description If this box is checked, the router acts as a DHCP server. If this box is cleared, the router's DHCP server is disabled. The beginning of the range of IP addresses to assign. The number of sequential addresses available for assignment to attached hosts. The maximum is 32. If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0, the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP. If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address to attached hosts, enter the address in this field. LAN TCP/IP Table 5-3 lists and describes the fields to use for setting up TCP/IP parameters for the LAN.. Table 5-3. LAN TCP/IP Setup Fields Field TCP/IP Setup: IP Address IP Subnet Mask Description Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods, for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must have a unique IP address. An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask. 5-4 Advanced Configuration of the Router

DHCP Setup Fields
Field
Description
DHCP Server:
If this box is checked, the router acts as a DHCP server.
If this box is cleared, the router’s DHCP server is disabled.
Pool Starting Address
The beginning of the range of IP addresses to assign.
Count
The number of sequential addresses available for assignment to
attached hosts. The maximum is 32.
Primary DNS Server
If you want the router to provide the Primary DNS Server address to
attached hosts, enter the DNS address in this field. If this field is 0.0.0.0,
the router assigns its own address as DNS Server, and performs a DNS
Proxy if it can obtain a DNS address from the ISP.
Secondary DNS Server
If you want the router to assign the Secondary DNS Server address
to attached hosts, enter the address in this field.

LAN TCP/IP Setup Fields
Field
Description
TCP/IP Setup:
IP Address
Enter the IP address of the LAN interface of the router in dotted-decimal
notation (four 8-bit numbers, between 0 and 255, separated by periods,
for example, 192.168.0.1). Every device on the TCP/IP network must
have a unique IP address.
IP Subnet Mask
An IP address consists of two parts, the network ID and the host ID. The
IP Subnet Mask specifies the network ID portion of the address, written
in dotted-decimal notation. The router automatically calculates this mask
for the class of the IP address that you assign. Unless you have a
special need for subnetting, use the default subnet mask calculated by
the router. All hosts on the LAN segment should use the same mask.
