Chapter 5 Advanced Setup

LAN IP Address

Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the “LAN IP Address” screen. The value in the LAN IP Address text box is the IP address of the Gateway as seen on the network.

The LAN IP address of the Gateway can be modified, but Actiontec recommends keeping the default factory setting (192.168.0.1).

Note: If the Gateway’s LAN IP Address is modified, verify 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 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.
