☞
Note: If the Modem’s
LAN IP
address is modified, ensure the
DHCP
server range is within the same subnet. For more infor-
mation, see “
DHCP
Server Configuration.”
After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to
make all changes permanent.
DHCP Server
Selecting
DHCP
Server in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gener-
ates the “
DHCP
Server” 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.”
