Field	Description
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 Subnet Mask	If Disable DHCP Client is on, type the subnet mask associated with the static IP address in
	dotted-decimal format. The default is None.
WAN Default Gateway	When using a statically assigned IP address from your ISP, enter the default gateway the SBG
	should be using to communicate with on the WAN.
