Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool

By default, the modem router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers that are connected to its LAN and WiFi network. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router.

These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP address. The default DHCP address pool is 192.168.1.2–192.168.1.254.

The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

•An IP address from the range that you define

•Subnet mask

•Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

•DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

To specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns:

1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. A login screen displays.

3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.

The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and password are case-sensitive.

4.Click the OK button.

The BASIC Home screen displays.

5.Select ADVANCED > Setup > LAN Setup. The LAN Setup screen displays.
