port rules into the flash memory so they are remembered if you do a router reset:

That covers basic port forwarding set-up.

6.2 DHCP

When connecting clients to a TCP network there are various IP parameters that must be configured on the client.

Namely:

Client IP address

Network Mask

Default Gateway

DNS address/domain

In the notes above it has been assumed that these settings will be manually set-up on each client. However there is a feature

called DHCP in which the router will automatically send these settings to the clients when they boot up and connect to the

router. To do this the router needs to be configured as a DHCP server.

6.2.1 Setting Up DHCP Server

Go to Network Service/DHCP Server:

For 'interface' select Ethernet or, if this is the VI model and you've configured the WLAN to be routed (i.e. on a different

segment to the wired network, see Quick/WLAN if using a VI model) you can also select WLAN if you want to use DHCP

on the wireless network. Then enter a starting and an end address for auto client IP allocation i.e. the range of addresses you

want the DHCP server (the router) to automatically use for the clients. The lease time tells it how long this address can be

used (leased) by a particular client. A Value of one day should be okay.
