Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway
DHCP Server
Selecting
DHCP
Server in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the
“
DHCP
Server” screen. The Gateway 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 Gateway. For more information, see
“
DHCP
Server Configuration.”
