How to Turn on DHCP on a Belkin

You can make changes to your router's configuration by connecting wirelessly.

A Belkin router offers both static and dynamic IP configurations. When your router is configured for static IP address assignments, each device on the network is linked with a specific IP address that never changes. A dynamic configuration uses Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) to randomly assign IP addresses from a pool of available IPs. Log in to the router's control console to turn DHCP on or off for your network.

Instructions

1. Open your Internet browser.

2. Type "http://192.168.2.1" into the address line of your browser window and press the Enter key.

3. Click "Log-in," then "Submit."

4. Click "LAN Settings" under the "LAN Setup" menu on the left side of the window.

5. Check "On" under "DHCP Server," then click "Apply Changes."

Tips & Warnings

• If you have static IP's assigned, make a note of each one before switching to DHCP.
