How To Configure DHCP on OpenWRT router

First uninstall pre-installed dnsmasq:

/etc/init.d/dnsmasq stop
opkg remove dnsmasq

Then install the ISC DHCP server app:

opkg install http://downloads.openwrt.org/barrier_breaker/14.07/ar71xx/generic/packages/oldpackages/isc-dhcp-server-ipv4_4.2.4-3_ar71xx.ipk

Once that is done run:

nano /etc/dhcpd.conf

and replace the content with this:

# Show that we want to be the only DHCP server in this network:
authoritative;

option domain-name "myHome.com";
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2;
#DHCP Scope:
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
#DHCP range
range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.130;
#default gateway
option routers 192.168.0.1;
}

default-lease-time 691200; # 8 days
max-lease-time 864000; # 10 days

# Static assignments
host PC1 {
hardware ethernet 00:11:22:33:44:55;
fixed-address 192.168.0.10;
}

host PC2 {
hardware ethernet 00:88:77:77:66:66;
fixed-address 192.168.0.11;
}

Save the file and start the service

/etc/init.d/dhcpd start

To see dhcpd leases run:

more /var/dhcpd.leases

# The format of this file is documented in the dhcpd.leases(5) manual page.
# This lease file was written by isc-dhcp-4.2.4

lease 192.168.1.100 {
  starts 4 2015/03/05 17:57:24;
  ends 4 2015/03/05 17:59:24;
  tstp 4 2015/03/05 17:59:24;
  cltt 4 2015/03/05 17:57:24;
  binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 11:22:33:55:44:33;
  client-hostname "Windows7-PC";
}
lease 192.168.1.102 {
  starts 4 2015/03/05 18:19:06;
  ends 4 2015/03/05 18:21:06;
  tstp 4 2015/03/05 18:21:06;
  cltt 4 2015/03/05 18:19:06;
  binding state free;
  hardware ethernet 11:33:55:ee:ff:55;
  client-hostname "mobile-phone";
}
