How do I configure DHCP server on my wireless router?

The Network Key you're probably asking for is on a sticker located, underneath the router. Can you check?

Here's a way to configure your router for your existing network (assuming you already have one) :

If you have an existing network, chances are you have already configured network services on the network. In this case, you would use the router as a pure Access Point to extend the range of your network by allowing more attachment of wireless and wired computers. You MUST also turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a DHCP server running to avoid IP address conflict.

To configure the router as an Access Point with the DHCP server disabled:

1. Open your web browser and go to http://my.router, (or the default address http://192.168.2.1.)
   

2. Click the Basic Settings tab on the top navigation bar.
   

3. Select Access Point Mode.
   

4. Click the Next button.
   

5. Click OK to dismiss the DHCP disabled message box (The DHCP server will be disabled in Access Point Mode by default).
   

6. Click the Advanced Settings tab on the top navigation bar.
   

7. Click the Advanced IP Settings tab on the left navigation bar.
   

8. Assign an IP address to the Wireless Broadband Router.
   
   NOTE: The IP address should be reserved by the DHCP server. The Wireless Broadband Router cannot act as a DHCP client, therefore, it needs a static IP address for its LAN interface.
   
   

9. Click the Submit button.
   

10. Click the Save & Restart button.
    

11. Note the status bar at the bottom of the screen.
    

12. While the Wireless Broadband Router resets, the Power light on the front of the unit blinks.
    

13. When your web browser returns to the main page of the Wireless Broadband Route, the device has successfully restarted with the new settings.
    NOTE: The main page may not return if you have changed IP address of the router in Step 8. To view the main page, type the new IP address of the router in the web browser to access it.
    

    
    
    

14. Plug an Ethernet cable from the existing local network into any LAN port on the Wireless Broadband Router.
    

Converting A Router To A Switch The five steps are:

1. [Optional] Put a piece of electric tape over the WAN port so it doesn't get used.
2. Disable the DHCP server.
3. Change the downstream router's LAN IP.
4. [Optional] Turn off the wireless radio on the downstream router.
5. Connect an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the upstream router to a LAN port on the downstream router.

Step 1: Putting a piece of electric tape over the WAN port isn't necessary. But it is a good way to prevent future problems caused by someone plugging a device into that port.
Step 2: Log into the downstream router, look for the DHCP configuration section, and disable the DHCP server. For example, on a Dlink DI-614+, DHCP server configuration is a menu in the Home configuration section.

Step 3: Change the downstream router's LAN IP to an unused IP in the same subnet as the upstream router. Log into the upstream router and find the DHCP server controls. Figure 3 shows a typical set of DHCP server controls. You can see that 192.168.3.200 - 250 is the range of addresses that will be issued by this router's DHCP server.
You can use any IP address outside (above or below) this range, except for 0 and 255, which are reserved. You also can't use the IP address used by the upstream router. This is usually 1, which in this case is 192.168.3.1. But if you log into your upstream router's admin screens using an IP address with anything other than 1 as the last octet, i.e. XXX.XXX.XXX.1, then just don't use that address.
Thus, a safe LAN IP address for the downstream router that isn't used by the upstream router is an address from 192.168.3.2 to 192.168.3.199. So I assigned my downstream router a LAN IP of 192.168.3.3 (Figure 4).
Step 4: [Wireless routers only] Disable the downstream router's wireless function. It doesn't hurt to unscrew the antennas from the downstream router as well if they are detachable. This gets them out of the way since you aren't using them anymore. Figure 5 shows the wireless disabled for a D-Link DGL-4300.
Step 5: Connect the downstream router. Run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port on the upstream router to a LAN port on the downstream router. The LAN ports are the ports that often grouped together and not labeled as WAN or Internet.

To Configure the Router with Internet Access

Connect to one of the wireless router/access point's LAN Ethernet ports, turn off its DHCP server, and give the wireless router a static IP on your LAN:

1. Connect a PC directly to a LAN port on the wireless router with an Ethernet cable.
2. Power on the wireless router/access point.
3. Reboot the PC.
4. Log in to the wireless router though a browser. (Usually 192.168.1.1, with User Name = admin and Password = password, unless you changed them from the defaults).
5. Go to the LAN IP menu and disable the wireless access point's DHCP server by unchecking Use router as DHCP server.
6. Select LAN IP, and change the IP to 192.168.1.99.
7. Click Apply to save the settings. You will lose the connection to the wireless router/access point , since its IP changed.
8. Log in to the wireless router/access point with the URL: http://192.168.1.99
9. Connect one of the wireless router's Local (LAN) ports to your existing network

Log in on your router manager http://192.168.x.x and enable DHCP.DHCP provides an automated way to distribute and update IP addresses and other configuration information on a network. A DHCP server provides this information to a DHCP client through the exchange of a series of messages, known as the DHCP conversation or the DHCP transaction. If the DHCP server and DHCP clients are located on different sub-nets, a DHCP relay agent is used to facilitate the conversation.

1. Connect to your router (by typing 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1 into the URL bar) and log in. Check your user manual or documentation if you do not know the log-in credientials.
   
2. Router Setup tab Make sure you are in the Setup -> Basic Setup category.
3. DHCP is Disabled Scroll down until you see 'DHCP Server' - if it is disabled, select 'Enable'
4. Enable DHCP If you want, you can change the number that the DHCP IP assigning starts. This is optional, and is totally dependant on personal preference.In this picture, the maximum number of DHCP clients is 3. You may need to increase this number according to how many people will need a dynamic IP address on your network. Once the max is reached, no one else can get an address until one expires!
5. Use the DNS servers provided to you by your ISP, or use the following DNS servers: 205.152.37.254, 205.152.132.235, 205.152.132.23; There are many DNS servers out there. It's best to use your ISP's if possible.
6. Don't forget to save! Scroll down and click 'Save Settings'
7. Open up the network configurations for the computers on your network (Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area Connection or Wireless Connection) and select 'Obtain IP address automatically'

You'll want to configure your router as a dhcp server. Connect the switch to your router's lan port. Connect the remaining devices to a port on the switch. Your wireless access point should have it's dhcp server disabled. You can only have one dhcp server per network. The wireless can get it's address from the router's dhcp and the wireless client devices will get their ip address from the router, as well. If your wireless access point is a router with a wan/broadband port and some switch ports you will want to make sure that you are connecting to your Asus switch via one of the switch ports.
Be sure that your client devices are configured to get their ip address via dhcp and you should be surfing the interweb in no time flat.

4. Log in to the wireless router though a browser. (Usually 192.168.1.1, with User Name = admin and Password = password, unless you changed them from the defaults).
5. Go to the LAN IP menu and disable the wireless access point’s DHCP server by unchecking Use router as DHCP server.
6. Select LAN IP, and change the IP to 192.168.1.99.
7. Click Apply to save the settings. You will lose the connection to the wireless router/access point , since its IP changed.
8. Log in to the wireless router/access point with the URL: http://192.168.1.99
9. Connect one of the wireless router's Local (LAN) ports to your existing network.

This completes the wireless router/access point configuration.

• You can now log in to the wireless router/access point at its new address of http://192.168.1.99 and configure wireless features such as WEP and Access Control List
• UPnP, DMZ, Port Forwarding, and Port Triggering are not used on the wireless router/access point, and it doesn't matter how they are configured.

1. Configure the LAN IP address to be within the same subnet as your PCs.
   • Take care not to use an IP address already being used.
   • Limit the number of addresses in the DHCP range and assign an IP address outside of the range to the router you want to use as the Access Point.
2. Disable DHCP on the wireless router/access point.
3. Connect one of the LAN ports on the wireless router/access point to a LAN port on the Router.
4. Configure the SSID and any security settings on the wireless PCs to match the wireless router/access point's SSID and security settings.

a. SSIDs must be the same on all wireless devices. (These are case-sensitive: netGEAR is not the same as NETGEAR.)
b. Tip: Make sure the wireless PCs can connect before configuring WEP, WPA-PSK, or other wireless encryption.

Hi,
You may want to enable the DHCP reservation feature of the router.
What is DHCP Reservation and how do I configure it?

What is DHCP Reservation?
A DHCP reservation is a permanent IP address assignment. It is a specific IP address within a DHCP scope that is permanently reserved for leased use to a specific DHCP client.
You can configure a DHCP reservation in your DHCP server when you need to reserve a permanent IP address assignment. Use reservations for the DHCP enabled devices like print and file servers or other application servers which always have the fixed IP address on network.


Step 1: Access the router's web-based setup page. For instructions, click here. 
Step 2: When the router's web-based setup page appears, click Setup.
Step 3: Click on Basic Setup.
Step 4: Make sure that DHCP Server is Enabled. Then, click the DHCP Reservation button if you want to assign a fixed local IP address to a MAC address.

First of all u should ensure that DHCP server is configured for your required number of computers. this problem seems that you have less clients configured in your DHCP server, existing in router configuration.

router 1 (base) router 2 (repeater) router 1 (base) is the network, the SSID is where u get your internet connection set router 2 with same SSID, DHCP on. i advise connecting hardline to make sure both routers are working correctly. once thats verified then go wifi

Either the network connection between the 360 and router is not working correctly, or your router is not configured properly for DHCP.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol that automatically assigns a network address (and some other settings) to your computer....or Xbox in this case. It works like this....when your Xbox connects to the network, it sends out a broadcast packet on the network that looks for a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is present, it responds. Next the Xbox requests its network address and other settings from the DHCP server. Your WGR614 router has a DHCP server function built in, but it may not be enabled. Try reconfiguring the router using the Netgear "Smart Wizard" installation CD and be sure to enable the DHCP capability, if asked.
