DHCP Gateway IP
Address
Though the DHCP server usually also acts as the
Default Gateway of the DHCP client, the
access point 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 access point 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 access point in Access Point
Client mode connects to an Internet gateway
X
, a PC wired to the access point will be
unable to obtain a dynamic IP address directly
from
X
. But if you enable the DHCP server of
the access point and set the IP address of
X
as
the DHCP Gateway IP Address, the PC will
obtain its IP address from the access point and
access the Internet through
X
.
DHCP Lease Time
This is the length of time that the client may use
the assigned address before having to check
with the DHCP server to see if the Address is still
valid.
Primary DNS IP Address
Your ISP usually provides the IP address of the
DNS server.
Secondary DNS IP
Address
This optional setting is the IP address of a
secondary DNS server.
