3.7 Configuring the DHCP Server
Caution This feature is supported by only the Router mode and the WISP mode.

3.7.1 Overview
A DHCP server is responsible for assigning dynamic IP addresses to clients in the Wi-Fi network for Internet access.
3.7.2 Configuration Steps

1. Configuring the DHCP Server Smartphone View: Choose More > LAN.

PC View: Choose More >

Basics > LAN > LAN Settings.

DHCP Server: The DHCP server function is enabled by default. You are advised to enable it when only a single router is used.

Caution If all DHCP servers in the network are disabled, all clients will fail to obtain the dynamic IP addresses. In this case, please enable at least one DHCP server or configure the client with a static IP address manually.

32

Web-based Configuration Guide

Networks Settings

Start: Enter the start IP address of the DHCP address pool. A client obtains an IP address from the address pool. If all the addresses in the address pool are used up, the client will fail to obtain the IP address.
IP Count: Enter the number of IP addresses in the address pool. The default value is 254.
Lease Time (Min): Enter the address lease time period. When a client keeps connected, the lease is automatically renewed. If a lease is not renewed due to the client disconnection or network instability, the IP address will be reclaimed after the lease period expires. After the client connection is restored, the client requests an IP address again. The default lease period is 120 minutes.

2. Viewing DHCP Clients

Configuring the Repeater Mode

(2) Select the Wi-Fi signal of the primary router you want to extend. The setting options of this router are displayed. If the signal of selected primary router is encrypted, enter the Wi-Fi password of the primary router. You can configure both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz signals of primary router as backup.
(3) Configure the Wi-Fi of this router. You can choose whether the Wi-Fi is the same as the Wi-Fi of primary router. If you set them the same, the Wi-Fi settings of the range extender will be automatically synchronized with the primary router. Generally, clients consider the Wi-Fi networks with identical name as one network; therefore, they can find only the Wi-Fi of the primary router. If you set them different, configure the local Wi-Fi name and password. Then clients will find different WiFi networks. Caution
After the configuration is saved, the Wi-Fi is disconnected. The clients need to connect to the new Wi-Fi. Remember the configured Wi-Fi name and password, and exercise caution when performing the configuration.
You are advised to install the range extender in a position where more than two grids of signal is available to prevent serious signal loss in the repeating process. If the signal at the installation position is too weak, Wi- Fi extension may fail or signal quality is poor after amplification.
