Device Settings 95
From this window, you can view or adjust these settings, or perform the following actions:
● Router IP Address — This is the routing hardware’s IP address on the LAN.
● Subnet Mask — This is the routing hardware’s internal LAN subnet mask.
● Hostname — This is, in essence, a name you’re giving the device. (See Host Name
(Device Name).)
● Link SSID and Hostname — With this feature you only need to remember one name
when selecting the Wi-Fi network, accessing the browser interface, or accessing the
microSD card. (See Linking the SSID and the Host Name.)
● SSID — This is the name of the Wi-Fi network. (See SSID (Wi-Fi Network Name).)
● MTU — This specifies whether optimization is used.
 Auto — Optimization is not used.
 Optimized (recommended setting) — Optimization is used; this may improve data
transmission.
 Manual — Optimization is used; this may improve data transmission. After selecting
the radio button, enter the value to use (1200–1500).
● DHCP Server — This field enables DHCP.
Note: The following settings are displayed only when DHCP is enabled.
● DHCP IP Address Range — This specifies the starting and ending address of the range
of IP addresses available for the device to dynamically (that is, not permanently) assign
to computers connected to it.
● DHCP Lease Time — This is the amount of time, in minutes, a computer can use its
assigned IP address before it is required to renew the lease. After this time is up, the
computer is automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address.
Enter a number between 2 and 10080.
● Max DHCP Clients — This is the number of DHCP addresses that can be assigned and
active at one time. It’s recommended you set this to a number greater than the number
of Wi-Fi users.
● DNS Mode — This specifies how the DNS servers (that the DHCP clients are to
communicate with) are obtained.
 Auto — The DNS server specified by your service provider is used. DNS Relay is
enabled by default.
