Actiontec Wireless Cable/DSL Router User Manual
Actiontec strongly recommends 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 Router. For more information, see “
DHCP
Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “
DHCP
Server” screen generates the “
DHCP
Server
Configuration” screen. Change
IP
address range and
DNS
server information here.
Beginning
IP
Address - the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server
starts assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the
factory default setting (192.168.0.2).
Ending
IP
Address - the
IP
Address at which the
DHCP
Server stops
assigning
IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the facto-
ry default settings (192.168.0.254).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Router. If the default values are left intact, the Router supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Router must be
on the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the
Router’s
IP
address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2, and the ending
IP
address to 10.33.222.254.
DNS
(Dynamic or Static) - the type of
DNS
server provided by the
Internet Service Provider (
ISP)
. If the
ISP
provided
DNS
server
information, select the type here. If not, leave as is.
