If the packet is high priority, it will flow first and will not be constrained by the Rate

Limit. Therefore, when this feature is enabled, the router’s Ethernet switch will check

the 2nd octet of each IP packet. If the value in the TOS field matches the checked

values in the table (0 to 63), this packet will be treated as high priority.

7.1.10 DHCP Server

You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or

enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to

dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to

obtain IP addresses automatically.

To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check Disabled and click Next, then click

Apply. When the DHCP Server is disabled you will need to manually assign a fixed IP

address to each PCs on your network, and set the default gateway for each PCs to the

IP address of the router (by default this is 192.168.1.254).

To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server and click Next. You can

then configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP

address and ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for

each assigned IP address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid),

DNS IP address and the gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client

(i.e. your PC) when it requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click Apply to

enable this function. If you check “Use Router as a DNS Server”, the ADSL Router

will perform the domain name lookup, find the IP address from the outside network

automatically and forward it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area

Network).
