DHCP Server
Selecting DHCP Server in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates
the “DHCP Server” screen. The Gateway 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.
Actiontec strongly recommends leaving the DHCP Server option On. If the DHCP
Server option is Off, ensure the IP addresses of the networked computers are
on the same subnet as the IP address of the Gateway. For more information, see
“DHCP Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “DHCP Server” screen generates the “DHCP Server
Configuration” screen. Change IP address range and DNS server information here.
Beginning IP Address - the IP address at which the DHCP server
starts assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the
factory default setting (192.168.0.2).
Ending IP Address - the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops
assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the fac-
tory default settings (192.168.0.254).
