Does this router automatically assign ip address to your computers / devices? DHCP

No, it does not assign IP addresses. This Ethernet switch has no configurability. It only facilitates connecting multiple Ethernet devices together. Another router or computer on the network must be responsible for IP address assignment.

You may create static dhcp entries (mac addresses and ip addresses). It does not appear to have further dhcp functionality.

This is a switch, it doesn't know or do anything with IP addresses. It routes using MAC addresses. I think your problem is something else.

It doesn't have a DHCP server (nor does it make sense for it to have on since it is intended to be assigned one by your DHCP server, typically your router). That said you could assign a static IP to the server and your PC, you won't need a router for that configuration (that is how I used to configure my network before home routers became cheap and ubitquitous).

It does. You can set it up via the GUI under IP Configuration > IPv4 Management and Interfaces > DHCP Server. Or you can set it up using the CLI.

the device setup home page has an admin tab with 3 options for access point, router or repeater. not a lot of documentation or help, but it does have the choices.

Yes - you configure the LAN interface IP as part of your setup. You don't have to use the default 192.168.1.x address it's set with out of the box.

Hi It can *forward* DHCP info to pc's and phones. If you want it to originate DHCP, you need one of the 300 series switches. Bob

Yes, in Settings, Network, TCP/IP Setup you have a choice:TCP/IP Setup Obtain an IP address automatically(DHCP)Use the following IP address Obtain DNS Server address automaticallyUse the following DNS server address HTTP/RTSP port: RTP port range: -- HTTP/RTSP Authentication method:Use Basic AuthenticationUse Digest Access Authentication

Yes. you can manually adjust DNS settings - primary and secondaryOne of the best products I carry in my travel bag. WW power adapter #1, this is #2 that I don't leave home without.

My C610A IP actually does reconnect after a few seconds. However, at first I had many disconnects, until i figured out that the router and the telefon base needs to have the correct time zone and matching time to allow DHCP exchange. Best to setup a NTP service in the router.

The best answer is already stated. As a closed network then no. You set the IP on the devices and all is well. If you want internet and not having to worry about statically assigning IP to the server or computer then a router with DHCP would be needed.

You may have to check the DNS settings. Even though, by default, it will be set to obtain IP from DHCP, somehow the DNS server settings are not taken automatically, you'll need to enter manually. Setup --&gt; Network --&gt; Wired LAN Setup (I use wired LAN, not wireless, I guess it will be the same) --&gt; DHCP (Auto) --&gt; Select "DNS (Manual)", press OK button, it will allow you to enter the DNS server address for your LAN, enter 4 digit DNS address and save the settings. Check the browser whether you are able to browse internet. Just for your information, the DNS server settings that are manually entered seem to be not saving permanently. Either a power off / power on, or just a reboot seem to be wiping this DNS setting. This is happening in my device, so I will enter the DNS address manually if at all I want to browse (very rarely I browse, so it is fine for me). May be your device stores it permanently. Check it out.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm just going to have to get the WET and test it. I find it intriguing that when in DHCP mode the devices plugged into it were assigned the same IP. That would point towards the WET doing NAT. If you just want to give your media center devices connectivity (so that they can access your network and the internet) that won't matter. But if you want to contact your media center devices from elsewhere on the network it could be a problem.But everything's so ambiguous in the stuff I've seen online I think the only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it out.

Yes it does, but you don't need it. I checked in DHCP for whatever IP the device got and used a browser to connect.

Yes it's a full router, it has full DHCP capability. You can even assign certain WAN ports / LAN ports as you wish. I personally use it as both a load balancer and router for certain devices. I.E. I have a netgear router attached too it that handles general wireless duty via DHCP of it's own. My main systems (2) are plugged directly into the unit. This is a great device for failover/load balance I was definitely hesitant at first as I've seen devices 3x this much not work this well. To answer your question more succinctly I would have anything near enough for an Ethernet cable plugged into the device, you can plug in a router to extend the amount of devices + wireless if you wish. You can change LAN to WAN and vice versa, I personally use the first dedicated WAN port for one modem, 2nd LAN port switched to WAN for the 2nd modem (load balanced), as stated two systems plug directly in to the LAN ports DHCP, router goes into the last port for wireless / other devices less crucial. Reason I do this is because this device has a solid firewall and great attack mitigation features. Hope this helps.
