Field Description
Host Name If the cable service provider requires a hostname to access to their network, type the hostname
they provided in this field. The default is None.
Enable DHCP Client Enabling the DHCP client causes the wireless gateway to automatically obtain the public IP
address , subnet mask , domain name , and DNS server(s). Most commonly, the DHCP client is
enabled if the cable service provider automatically assigns a public IP address from their
DHCP server. Enable DHCP Client is on by default.
Disable DHCP Client If the cable service provider does not automatically assign a public IP address using DHCP,
they must provide a
static IP address . Select Disable DHCP Client. When you disable the
DHCP client, you must type the static IP address, subnet mask, DNS server(s), and domain
name (if necessary) in the fields provided. Disable DHCP Client is off by default.
Static IP Address If Disable DHCP Client is on, type the static IP address provided by the cable service provider,
in
dotted-decimal format . The default is None.
Static IP Subnet Mask If Disable DHCP Client is on, type the subnet mask associated with the static IP address, in
dotted-decimal format. The default is None.
WAN Default Gateway When using a statically assigned IP address from your ISP, enter the default gateway the SBG
should be using to communicate with on the WAN.
