3.7. DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic
configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the
built-in DHCP server on the device, it will automatically configure
the TCP/IP settings for all your LAN computers (including IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc), eliminating the
need of manual intervention. Just be sure to set all computers on
your LAN to be DHCP clients by selecting "Obtain an IP
Address Automatically" respectively on each such PC. When
turned on, these PCs will automatically load IP information from
the DHCP server. (This feature is enabled by default. Do NOT
disable it unless necessary)
39
3.8 DHCP Client List
DHCP Client List displays information of devices that have obtained
IP addresses from the device’s DHCP Server. If you would like
some devices on your network to always get the same IP
addresses, you can manually add a static DHCP reservation entry
for each such device.
1) IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP reservation.
2) MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always
receive the same IP address (the IP you just specified).
3) Add: Click to add the entry to the MAC address reservation list.
4) OK: Click to save your settings.
Note:
40
If the IP address you have reserved for your PC is currently used by
another client, then you will not be able to obtain a new IP
address from the device's DHCP server, instead, you must
manually specify a different IP address for your PC to access
Internet.
41
Chapter 4 Wireless Settings
4.1 Wireless Basic Settings
Here you can expand your wireless coverage with the following
modes: Wireless AP (default mode) and WDS.
1) Wireless Access Point (AP): Select this mode if you want to
convert an existing wired network to a wireless network so as to
extend Internet access to wireless clients.
2) WDS Bridge Mode: wireless distribution system (WDS) is a
system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in
an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be
expanded using multiple access points without the traditional
requirement for a wired backbone to link them. Select this mode
if you want to extend an existing wireless network.
The two modes are described as below:
42
4.1.1 Wireless AP Mode
1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. The
default is Wilink_XXXXXX. XXXXXX is the last six characters in
the device's MAC address. It is recommended that you change it
for better security and identification.
2) Channel: Select a channel that is the least used by neighboring
networks from the drop-down list or Auto. Channels 1, 6 and 11
are recommended.
3) OK: Click to save your settings.
Note:
It is advisable to keep other items unchanged from factory default
settings. For more details of other features, see Appendix 1.
43
4.1.2 WDS Bridge Mode
WDS Bridge Mode: wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system
enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE
802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded
using multiple access points without the traditional requirement
for a wired backbone to link them.
Note:
The Access Points you select MUST support WDS.
44
For example:
As seen in the figure above, PC1 and PC2 access Internet via a
wireless connection to Router 1. While PC3 and PC4 are too far to
directly connect to Router 1 for Internet access. Now you can use
the WDS bridge feature to let PC3 and PC4 access Internet.
Before you get started:
1. View and note down the wireless security settings: security mode,
cipher type, security key, etc. on Router 1.
2. Verify that DHCP server is enabled on Router 1.
3. Set the LAN IP address of Router 2 to a different address yet on
the same net segment as Router 1.
As shown below:
Router 1:
LAN IP: 192.168.0.1;
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0;
Router 2:
LAN IP：192.168.0.10;
45
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0;
Then do as follows:
1. Configure Router 2:
1) Wireless Working Mode: Select WDS Bridge Mode.
2) Click Open Scan (or Scan) to search for Router 1.
46
47
3)
Select the wireless network to connect and click OK.
48
4)
Verify that the SSID, channel, and AP MAC address on the page
match those of the added wireless network. If not, manually correct
them.
49
5)
Close Scan and click OK to save your settings.
50
6)
Go to Wireless Security page and set the wireless security
settings exactly as they are on the link partner (Router 1).
7)
Go to DHCP Server to disable the DHCP on Router 2. Now you
have finished all settings on Router 2 required for WDS.
2. Configure Router 1:
1) Go to wireless section on Router 1 and specify WDS (or WDS
Bridge) as its wireless working mode.
2) Manually enter Router 2's MAC address (Also, you can use the
Scan option as mentioned above) and click OK to finish your
settings.
3. Configure PC3 and PC4：
