DHCP Settings

Selecting DHCP Settings in the “Advanced Setup” screen generates the “DHCP
Settings” 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, then
click Apply.

We strongly recommend leaving the

DHCP

Server option On. If the

DHCP

Server

option is Off, ensure the

addresses of the networked computers are on the same

subnet as the

address of the Modem. For more information, see “

DHCP

Server

Configuration.”

DHCP Server Configuration

Clicking in the check box labeled “I would like to adjust the DHCP server settings”
activates the text boxes at the bottom of the DHCP Settings screen. Change the IP
address range and DNS server information in these text boxes.

Beginning IP Address
This is the

address at which the

DHCP

server starts assigning

addresses. We

recommend keeping the factory default setting (192.168.0.2).
