LAN IP Address
Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen
generates the “LAN IP Address” screen. The value in the LAN IP Address text box
is the IP address of the Modem as seen on the network.
The LAN IP address of the Modem can be modified, but Actiontec recommends
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 infor-
mation, see “ DHCP Server Configuration.”
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 your 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” below.
