Testing your new settings
You can now check to see if the modem is configured properly by reversing the steps made in the section
‘Assign a static IP address on your computer’ so that your PC is once again obtaining an IP address that is
assigned dynamically from the modems new DHCP pool.
When you have made those changes open your Internet Browser.
If you are forwarded to your homepage you have successfully changed the modem settings. Do not power
your modem down for a few minutes as the modem will automatically save the settings in the first two or
three minutes after any configuration changes are processed.
