IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a session-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group. The ADSL ATU-R supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP v1) IGMP v2 and IGMP v3. Select Disabled to disable it. IGMP Snoop: Enable the IGMP Snoop function if you need.

DHCP Server: Select Enabled, then you will see the screen below (shown in Figure 4-12). The Router will work as a DHCP Server; it becomes the default gateway for DHCP client connected to it. DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The DHCP Server gives out IP addresses when a device is booting up and request an IP address to be logged on to the network. That device must be set as a DHCP client to obtain the IP address automatically. By default, the DHCP Server is enabled. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network. Figure 4-12 Starting IP Address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP server's IP assignment. Because the default IP address for the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.100, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.100 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254. IP Pool Count: The max user pool size. Lease Time: The length of time for the IP lease. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 259200 seconds. Physical Ports: If a physical port is unchecked, the client connected to that port will not be able to obtain IP address automatically although the DHCP function is enabled. All the ports are checked by default.

DHCP Table: The information of the DHCP clients will be displayed here 26 TD-W8961ND 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide IP Address: Display the IP Address of the DHCP client. Hostname: Display the name of the DHCP client. MAC Address: Display the MAC Address of the DHCP client. Status: Display the status of the assigned IP Address, either Static or Auto. Static indicates that the IP Address is bounded to the MAC Address, while Auto indicates that the IP Address is assigned to the MAC Address automatically. How to assign a static IP address to the client?

1). Select an IP Address from the drop-down list. 2). Enter the MAC Address of the client in the table. DNS Relay: If you want to disable this feature, you just need to set both Primary and secondary DNS IP to 0.0.0.0. If you want to use DNS relay, you can setup DNS server IP to 192.168.1.1 on their Computer. If not, the device will perform as no DNS relay. Primary DNS Server: Type in your preferred DNS server. Secondary DNS Server: Type in your preferred DNS server.

Note:

If Use Auto Discovered DNS Server Only is selected in DNS Relay, this router will accept the first received DNS assignment from one of the PPPoA, PPPoE or MER/DHCP enabled PVC(s) during the connection establishment. If Use User Discovered DNS Server Only is selected in DNS Relay, it is necessary for you to enter the primary and optional secondary DNS server IP addresses. After type in the address, click SAVE button to save it and invoke it.

DHCP Relay: Select Relay, then you will see the next screen (shown in Figure 4-13), and the Router will 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 forward to the DHCP server runs on WAN side. To have this function working properly, please run on router mode only, disable the DHCP server on the LAN port, and make sure the routing table has the correct routing entry. Figure 4-13 DHCP Server IP for Relay Agent: Enter the DHCP server IP Address runs on WAN side. 27 TD-W8961ND 300Mbps Wireless N ADSL2+ Modem Router User Guide

Access point: Select Activated to allow wireless station to associate with the access point. Channel: Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down List of Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. Transmit Power: Here you can specify the transmit power of Router. You can select High, Medium or Low which you would like. High is the default setting and is recommended. Beacon Interval: Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100. RTS/CTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value 2347 is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases, keep its default value of 2347. Fragmentation Threshold: This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346. DTIM: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Wireless Mode: In the drop-down list you can select 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n, 802.11b+g, 802.11g+n and 802.11b+g+n. 802.11b+g+n allows both 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless stations to connect to the Router.
