11. 3. Specify DHCP Server Settings
By default, the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server is enabled and the
router acts as a DHCP server; it dynamically assigns TCP/IP parameters to client devices
from the IP Address Pool. You can change the settings of DHCP Server if necessary, and
you can reserve LAN IP address for specified client device.
1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with the username and password you set for the
router.
2. Go to Advanced > Network > DHCP Server.
Note:
1. The router can be configured to 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 be
forwarded to the DHCP server that runs on WAN side.
¾ To specify the IP address that the router assigns:
1. Make sure that the Enable DHCP Server checkbox is selected.
2. Enter the starting and ending IP address in the IP Address Pool.
3. Enter other parameters if the ISP offers, the Default Gateway is automatically filled
the same as the LAN IP address of the router.
4. Click Save to make the settings effective.
¾ To reserve an IP address for a specified client device:
1. Click the Add button.
