redial to users' ISP immediately to make the connection active if users set it and when the router
detect the connection is inactive. Specifies how many seconds to wait before reconnect the link
after it terminates.
None: do not set this function
Ping: Send ping packet to detect the connection, when choose this method. Users should also
configure "Detection Interval", "Primary Detection Server IP" and "Backup Detection Server IP"
items.
Route: Detect connection with route method, when choose this method. Users should also
configure "Detection Interval", "Primary Detection Server IP" and "Backup Detection Server IP"
items.

3.3.3 LAN
Set IP address and subnet mask of LAN. The LAN IP and WAN IP must not be in the same
network segment.
Local DNS：You can choose to use these reliable DNS server if you have your own DNS
server or other stable and reliable DNS server. Optional configuration.
Assign WAN Port to Switch: Use WAN port to LAN port.
DHCP Type: DHCP Server and DHCP Forwarder.
DHCP Server: keep the default Enable to enable the router's DHCP server option. If users
have already have a DHCP server on their network or users do not want a DHCP server, then
select Disable.
Start IP Address: enter a numerical value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP
addresses. Do not start with 192.168.1.1 (the router's own IP address).
Maximum DHCP Users: enter the maximum number of PCs that users want the DHCP
server to assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 if 192.168.1.2 is users' starting IP
address.
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.
Static DNS (1-3): the Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain or
website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Users' ISP will provide them with at least one
DNS Server IP address. If users wish to utilize another, enter that IP address in one of these fields.
Users can enter up to three DNS Server IP addresses here. The router will utilize them for quicker
access to functioning DNS servers.
WINS: the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC's interaction with
the Internet. If users use a WINS server, enter that server's IP address here. Otherwise, leave it
blank.
