Explanation

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) should be configured to define the IP address range (scope) that will be assigned to devices on the network, satisfying the 'defined IP range' requirement. MAC filtering allows the router to maintain a whitelist of authorized MAC addresses, ensuring only the five specified computers can connect to the network. DMZ exposes a host to the internet and is a security risk, not an access control measure. ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is a network protocol, not a configurable security feature on SOHO routers. SSID configuration controls the network name but does not restrict which devices can join - anyone with the password could still connect.
