Host Name

If the cable service provider requires a hostname to access to their network, type the hostname

 

they provided in this field. The default is None.

Enable DHCP Client

Enabling the DHCP client causes the wireless gateway to automatically obtain the public IP

 

address, subnet mask, domain name, and DNS server(s). Most commonly, the DHCP client is

 

enabled if the cable service provider automatically assigns a public IP address from their

 

DHCP server. Enable DHCP Client is on by default.

Disable DHCP Client

If the cable service provider does not automatically assign a public IP address using DHCP,

 

they must provide a static IP address. Select Disable DHCP Client. When you disable the

 

DHCP client, you must type the static IP address, subnet mask, DNS server(s), and domain

 

name (if necessary) in the fields provided. Disable DHCP Client is off by default.

Static IP Address

If Disable DHCP Client is on, type the static IP address provided by the cable service provider,

 

in dotted-decimal format. The default is None.

Static IP Address

If Disable DHCP Client is on, type the subnet mask associated with the static IP address, in
