This table describes the parameters that can be modified in DHCP
Server Setup.
Parameters Description
The fields DHCP Start IP Address and DHCP End IP Address fields allow you to
define the range of IP addresses from which the DHCP Server can assign an IP
address to the LAN.
DHCP Start IP Address
This is the first IP address that the DHCP server will
assign and should belong to the same subnet as
the router. For example if the router IP address is
192.168.168.1 and the network mask is
192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP Start IP
Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can be
any number from 2 to 254. It is pre-set to
192.168.168.100.
DHCP End IP Address
This is the last IP address that the DHCP server can
assign and should also belong to the same subnet
as your router. For example if the router IP address
is 192.168.168.1 and the network mask is
192.168.168.1 and 255.255.255.0, the DHCP End IP
Address should be 192.168.168.X, where X can be
any number from 2 to 254. It is pre-set as
192.168.168.254.
DHCP Gateway IP
Address
Though the DHCP server usually also acts as the
Default Gateway of the DHCP client, the router
allows you to define a different Gateway IP
Address which will be allocated as the Default
Gateway IP of the DHCP client. The DHCP client
will thus receive its dynamic IP address from the
router but will access to the Internet or the other
LAN through the Default Gateway defined by the
DHCP Gateway IP Address.
For instance if the unit in Access Point Client mode
connects to an Internet gateway
X , a PC wired to
the unit will be unable to obtain a dynamic IP
address directly from
X . But if you enable the
DHCP server of the unit and set the IP address of X
as the DHCP Gateway IP Address, the PC will
obtain its IP address from the unit and access the
Internet through
X .
