How Do I Configure the Gateway Cable Modems?

Reserving IP Addresses
Use the Setup Basic Settings – Fixed CPE IP Assignment page to reserve IP
addresses to be issued by the DHCP server in the gateway to specific devices on
the LAN. This feature allows you to assign a fixed IP address to any device in
your network and eliminates the need to set static IP addresses in your PC or
other network device.
Reserving IP addresses is useful in making sure that a particular PC or other
network device (for example, a printer) is always issued the same IP address.
Another example: when using DMZ Host, the IP address for the DMZ Host will
always be issued to the same PC or device.
If you are not familiar with the Fixed CPE IP Assignment procedures
detailed in this section, contact your cable service provider before you attempt to
change any of the gateway cable modem default Fixed CPE IP Assignment
settings.
Click Fixed CPE IP Assignment in the Basic Settings section of the Setup page
to access the Setup Basic Settings – Fixed CPE IP Assignment page.
