Manage the Built-In DHCP Server
By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP,
DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all devices connected to the LAN. The
assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network
settings of all your computers.
Note: If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available
on your network, you must set your computer IP addresses manually
so that they can access the modem router.
To disable the built-in DHCP server:
1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
