DHCP Server: Click the Enable radio button to enable the Router's DHCP server option. If you already have a DHCP server on your network or you do not want a DHCP server, then click the Disable radio button. Starting IP Address: Enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the Router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100. Maximum Number of DHCP Users: Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 possible if 192.168.1.100 is your starting IP address. The default is 51. Client Lease Time: The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased" this dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day. Static DNS 1-3: The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to utilize another, enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will utilize these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers. WINS: The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank. Currently Assigned: Click the DHCP Clients Table button to see a list of PCs assigned IP addresses by the Router.

Improper configuration may result in poor network performance. Click Apply to save your settings. Wireless Broadband Anywhere 19 WX-5525R Dual Band AP Router Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100. DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 16384, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of the default value, 2347, are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a Wireless Broadband Anywhere 20 WX-5525R Dual Band AP Router particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347. Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346. Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. AutoFallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the Router and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto.
