Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway
Obtain an IP Through DHCP
Select this option (used for cable modem configurations without a Static IP assigned by an ISP) to allow the modem to query the ISP and receive IP address and routing information. Some ISPs need to authenticate their end users with a Host Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the ISP for a host name and domain name and enter them in the “Broadband Connection via DHCP” screen. If the ISP does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.
☞Note: Host and domain name information may also be accessed from the computer originally connected to the cable modem.
Specify a Static IP Address
Select this option if assigned a static (specific) IP Address by the ISP. Enter the IP Address, along with the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address (also pro- vided by the ISP), in the “Broadband Connection via Static IP Address” screen. If required to provide a Host Name and Domain Name, enter them here as well.
