DHCP Server Settings
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DIR-655 has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address 
to the computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP 
Address Automatically.” When you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the DIR-655. The 
DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting 
and ending address of the IP address pool.
Check  this  box  to  enable  the  DHCP  server  on  your  router. 
Uncheck to disable this function.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the DHCP server’s 
IP assignment.
Note: If  you  statically  (manually)  assign  IP  addresses  to  your 
computers  or  devices,  make  sure  the  IP  addresses  are  outside  of 
this range or you may have an IP conflict. 
The length of time for the IP address lease. Enter the Lease time 
in minutes.
Enable this feature to broadcast your networks DHCP server to 
LAN/WLAN clients.
NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to discover all other computers within 
the  network,  enable  this  feature  to  allow  the  DHCP  Server  to 
offer NetBIOS configuration settings.
Enable this feature to allow WINS information to be learned from 
the WAN side, disable to allow manual configuration.
This feature allows the configuration of a NetBIOS ‘domain’ name under which network hosts operates. This setting has no effect if the ‘Learn NetBIOS information 
from WAN’ is activated.”
Select the different type of NetBIOS node: Broadcast only, Point-to-Point, Mixed-mode, and Hybrid.
Enter your Primary (and Secondary) WINS IP address(es).

The  Link-local  address  is  used  by  nodes  and  routers  when 
communicating  with  neighboring  nodes  on  the  same  link. 
This  mode  enables  IPv6-capable  devices  to  communicate 
with each other on the LAN side.

assigned by your ISP. (A subnet with prefix /64 is supported 
in LAN.)
