11. 4. 2. Use the 4G LTE Router as a DHCP Server

You can configure the router to act as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to its clients.

To use the DHCP server function of the router, you must configure all computers on the

LAN to obtain an IP Address automatically.

Follow the steps below to configure DHCP server.

1. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with the password you set for the router.

2. Go to Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page.

3. Select DHCP to enable the DHCP function and select DHCP Server.

4. Specify the IP Address Pool, the start address and end address must be on the

same subnet with LAN IP. The router will assign addresses within this specified

range to its clients. It is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 by default.

5. Enter a value for the Address Lease Time. The Address Lease Time is the amount

of time in which a DHCP client can lease its current dynamic IP address assigned

by the router. After the dynamic IP address expires, the user will be automatically

assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 1440 minutes.

6. Keep the rest of the settings as default and click Save to make the settings effective.

Note:

1. The router can be configured to work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data

between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the device’s

interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs will be forwarded to

the DHCP server that runs on WAN side.
