Chapter 5 Configuring Advanced Settings
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.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking in the check box labeled “I would like to adjust the
DHCP
server settings”
activates the text boxes at the bottom of the
DHCP
Settings screen. Change the
IP
address range and
DNS
server information in these text boxes.
Beginning IP Address
This is the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server starts assigning
IP
addresses.
Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default setting (192.168.1.64).
Ending IP Address
This is the
IP
address at which the
DHCP
server stops assigning
IP
addresses.
Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default settings (
192.168.1.254
).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the
IP
address range of the
Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique
IP
address between 192.168.1.64 and 192.168.1.254 to each computer on the net-
work. Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical;
this means they are on the same subnet. The
IP
address of the Gateway must
be on the same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the
Gateway’s
IP
address is changed to 10.33.222.1, set the beginning
IP
address to
10.33.222.2, and the ending
IP
address to 10.33.222.254.
Subnet Mask

IP
address of the
DHCP
server’s subnet mask here.
Lease Time
This value represents the amount of time (in seconds) the
DHCP
server holds
onto a specific
IP
address.
