•Start IP Address: Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the default IP address for the modem router is 192.168.1.1, the default Start IP Address is 192.168.1.100, and the Start IP Address must be 192.168.1.100 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
