IP Network
The Gateway provides the flexibility to use different ranges of IP addresses to be assigned by the DHCP Server housed in the Gateway. DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows computers to obtain either permanent or temporary IP addresses from a central server.
To configure the IP network option:
1.Click the Configure the local SpeedStream Gateway IP Network hyperlink. This displays the “SpeedStream Gateway IP Network” window.
2.Select a range from the displayed options and click Save Settings. Be sure to select an IP address range that is not in conflict with any existing devices.
3.Optionally, click the Custom Settings hyperlink for advanced configuration. Please contact your ISP for more information on configuring the options for custom settings.
