Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

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 Modem. For more information, see “DHCP Server Configuration.”

DHCP Server Configuration

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

Beginning IP Address

The “Beginning IP Address” is 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 “Ending IP Address” is the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default set- tings (192.168.0.254).

The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique IP address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 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 Modem must be on the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the Modem’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.
