Chapter 6 Advanced Setup
LAN IP Address
Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the “LAN IP
Address” screen.
The values in the “LAN IP Address” and “Netmask” text boxes are the IP address
and Subnetmask of the Modem as seen on the network. These values can be modi-
fied for your LAN network, but Actiontec recommends keeping the default factory
settings (IP Address 192.168.0.1 and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0).
☞
Note: If the Modem’s LAN IP Address is modified, verify the
DHCP Server range is within the same subnet. For more infor-
mation, see “DHCP Server Configuration.”
After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to
make all changes permanent.
DHCP Server
Selecting DHCP Server in the “Advanced Settings” screen generates the “DHCP
Server” screen. The Modem has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) server that automatically assigns a different IP address to each computer
on the network, eliminating IP address conflicts.
The factory default setting is On. To disable the DHCP Server, select Off.
