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.”
