DHCP is already enabled on the Router by factory default. By leaving the
setting on Enable, the Router is configured to automatically assign an IP
address to each PC.
If you already have a DHCP server on your network, select Disable for the
DHCP Server option. If you do so, you must use your existing DHCP serv-
er's LAN IP address, or you may need to assign the Router a new static LAN
IP address. Remember to configure the DHCP server to assign the gateway
address using the Router's IP address.
In the Number of DHCP Users field, you may enter the number of PCs you
plan on networking to the Router. If you add more PCs to your network in
the future, don't forget to change this value.
Important: If you have an existing DHCP server on your LAN and
you don't wish to use the router as your new DHCP server, you must
assign your router a static LAN IP address. The Router's IP address
must be compatible with your existing network. You can not have two
DHCP servers running on one LAN at the same time.
