DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Custom Setup in the “Setup/Configuration” screen generates the “DHCP
Server Configuration” screen. Change the LAN IP address and DHCP server range here.
LAN IP Address
The value in the LAN IP Address text box is the IP address of the Modem as seen
on the local network. The LAN IP address can be modified, but Actiontec recom-
mends keeping the default factory setting (192.168.0.1).
☞
Note : If the Modem’s LAN IP Address is modified, verify the
DHCP Server range is within the same subnet. For more
information, see “DHCP Server,” below.
DHCP Server
The Dual PC 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 set-
ting is On. To disable the DHCP Server, select Off.
Actiontec strongly recommends leaving the DHCP Server option On. If the DHCP
Server option is turned off, make sure the IP addresses of the networked comput-
ers are on the same subnet as the IP address of the Modem.
