Configure DHCP Network

Step 4 – Configure DHCP Network for Wi-Fi

Once the IP pool has been created, the next step is to define the DHCP network and assign gateway and DNS information for Wi-Fi clients.
This ensures that every connected device receives a valid IP address, gateway, and DNS configuration automatically.

4.1 Add DHCP Network

1. Go to IP → DHCP Server → Networks → Add (+)
2. Enter the following values:

3. Click Apply → OK to save.

This defines the IP range and DNS servers that will be distributed to users connected to the Wi-Fi network through the WiZone Hotspot.

💡 Tip:
You can add internal DNS servers (e.g., 10.10.252.1) if you want local name resolution before forwarding to external servers such as Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) and Google (8.8.8.8).

Step 5 – Configure DHCP Server Instance

After defining the DHCP network and IP pool, create a DHCP server instance to automatically assign IP addresses to Wi-Fi clients.
This ensures that devices connecting to the WiZone Hotspot interface (ether5) receive IP configuration seamlessly.

5.1 Add DHCP Server

1. Go to IP → DHCP Server → DHCP → Add (+)
2. Configure the following parameters:

3. Click Apply → OK to activate the DHCP server.
