Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

LAN IP Address

Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “LAN IP Address” screen.

The values in the “LAN IP Address” and “Netmask” text boxes are the IP address and Subnet mask of the Router as seen on the network. These values can be modi- fied for your LAN network, but Actiontec recommends keeping the default factory settings (IP address 192.168.0.1; Subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

☞Note: If the Router’s LAN IP Address is modified, ensure the DHCP Server range is within the same subnet. For more infor- mation, see “DHCP Server Configuration.”

After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to make all changes permanent.

DHCP Server

Selecting DHCP Server in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “DHCP Server” screen. The Router 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.
