Chapter 4: Software Configuration
DHCP: Select Enabled, then you will see the screen.
The Router will work as a DHCP server, it becomes the default gateway for DHCP clients
connected to it. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server gives out IP
addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged on to the
network. That device must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically.
By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP
address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network.
Start IP: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. Because the default
IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.2, and the Start
IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
IP Pool Count: The maximum user pool size.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the
user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 259200 seconds.
DNS Relay: If you want to disable this feature, you just need to set both Primary and secondary
DNS IP to 0.0.0.0. If you want to use DNS relay, you can setup DNS server as 192.168.1.1 on their
computer. If not, the device will perform as no DNS relay.
Primary DNS: Type in your primary DNS server.
Secondary DNS: Type in your secondary DNS server.
Note: If Automatically is selected in DNS Relay, this router will accept the first received DNS
assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s) during the connection
establishment. If Manually is selected in DNS Relay, it is necessary for you to enter the primary
and optional secondary DNS server IP addresses. After type in the address, click APPLY/SAVE
button to save it and invoke it.
DHCP Relay: Select Relay, then you will see this screen, the Wireless Modem Router will work as
a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data between computers that
request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the device's
interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs
will forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function working properly,
please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port, and make sure that
the routing table has the correct routing entry.
