Chapter 6 Configuring Advanced Settings
DHCP Settings
Selecting DHCP Settings in the Advanced Setup tab 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.
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 Modem. For more information, see
“ DHCP Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking in the “I would like to adjust the DHCP Server settings” check box allows
values to be entered in the text boxes in the lower part of the DHCP Settings screen.
