Actiontec electronic Wireless-Ready user manual Dhcp Server Configuration

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.”

DHCP Server Configuration

Clicking Next in the “DHCP Server” screen generates the “DHCP Server Configuration” screen. Change IP address range and DNS server information here.

Beginning IP Address - the IP address at which the DHCP server starts assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default setting (192.168.0.2).

Ending IP Address - the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the facto- ry default settings (192.168.0.254).
