Actiontec DSL Modem User Manual
DHCP Settings
Selecting DHCP Settings in the “Advanced Setup” screen generates the “DHCP
Settings” screen. The Modem has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server that automatically assigns a different IP address to each computer
on the network, eliminating IP address conflicts.
The factory default setting is On. To disable the DHCP Server, select Off, then
click Apply.
We strongly recommend leaving the DHCP Server option On. If the DHCP Server
option is Off, ensure the IP addresses of the networked computers are on the same
subnet as the IP address of the Modem. For more information, see “ DHCP Server
Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking in the check box labeled “I would like to adjust the DHCP server settings”
activates the text boxes at the bottom of the DHCP Settings screen. Change the IP
address range and DNS server information in these text boxes.
Beginning IP Address
This is the
IP address at which the DHCP server starts assigning IP addresses. We
recommend keeping the factory default setting (192.168.0.2).
