Specify DHCP Server Settings

By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. The modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified on the LAN Setup screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router work well.

The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

•An IP address from the range that you have defined

•Subnet mask

•Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

•DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

You can specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns by setting the starting IP address and ending IP address. These addresses need to be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

To specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns:

1.Select ADVANCED > LAN Setup. The LAN Setup screen displays.

2.Make sure that the Use Router as a DHCP Server check box is selected.

3.Specify the range of IP addresses.

For example, using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

•In the Starting IP Address field, specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the modem router.

•In the Ending IP Address field, specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the modem router.

4.Click the Apply button. Your settings are saved.

To disable the DHCP Server feature on the modem router:

1.Select ADVANCED > LAN Setup. The LAN Setup screen displays.
