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.

DHCP Server Mode: Disable

To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check Disabled and then click Apply. When the DHCP

Server is disabled, you will need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each PC on your network,

and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router (the default is

192.168.1.254).

DHCP Server Mode: DHCP Server

To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check DHCP Server. 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 3G / 4G Router

performs the domain name lookup, finds the IP address from the outside network automatically

and forwards it back to the requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
