2. Enter the IP Address of your router (factory default: 192.168.1.1).
3. Enter the Subnet Mask. The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP
address. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
4. DHCP Server. By default, the DGFV338 will function as a DHCP server, providing TCP/IP
configuration for all computers connected to the LAN. If another device on your network will
be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure all devices, select the Disable DHCP
Server radio button. If the Enable DHCP Server radio button is selected, complete the
following fields to configure the information to be assigned by the DHCP server to LAN
devices:
a. Domain — (Optional) A domain name, such as netgear.com, that may be used for
processes such as DNS lookups.
b. Starting IP Address — The first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
192.168.1.2 is the default start address.
c. Ending IP Address — The last of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
192.168.1.254 is the default ending address.
d. Primary DNS Server — (Optional) The last of the contiguous addresses in the IP address
pool. 192.168.1.254 is the default ending address.
e. Secondary DNS Server — (Optional) T
f. WINS Server — (Optional) The IP address of a Windows NetBios Server, if one is
present in your network.
g. Lease Time — The Lease time to be given to the DHCP Clients.
h. Enable DNS Proxy — Enabled by default, allows the DGFV338 to provide its own LAN
IP Address for DNS address name resolution. If DNS proxy is disabled, the DHCP server
will provide the IP address of the actual DNS server.
5. Click Apply to save your settings.
Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the DGFV338 while connected through
the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection
to the new IP address and log in again.
To view the DHCP server activity, including IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP
Server to PCs and other DHCP clients, click the DHCP Log link at the top of the menu.
