DHCP

Enables Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) for the WAN port.

This setting allows the 11n Router to automatically obtain an IP address

from a DHCP server normally operated by the Internet Service Provider

(ISP).

Figure 25: DHCP Configuration

The following items are displayed on this page:

Hostname (Optional) — The hostname of the DHCP client.

Primary DNS Server — The IP address of the Primary Domain Name

Server. A DNS maps numerical IP addresses to domain names and can

be used to identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP

addresses. To specify a DNS server, type the IP addresses in the text

field provided. Otherwise, leave the text field blank.

Secondary DNS Server — The IP address of the Secondary Domain

Name Server.

MAC Clone — Some ISPs limit Internet connections to a specified MAC

address of one PC. This setting allows you to manually change the MAC

address of the 11n Router’s WAN interface to match the PC’s MAC

address provided to your ISP for registration. You can enter the

registered MAC address manually by typing it in the boxes provided.

Otherwise, connect only the PC with the registered MAC address to the

11n Router, then click the “Clone your PC’s MAC Address” (Default:

Disable)

If you are unsure of the PC MAC address originally registered by

your ISP, call your ISP and request to register a new MAC address for your

account. Register the default MAC address of the 11n Router.
