Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
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 (if the DHCP server is activated) generates
the “ DHCP Server Configuration” screen. Change IP address range and DNS server
information here.
Beginning IP Address
The “Beginning
IP Address” is 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 “Ending
IP Address” is the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops
assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default set-
tings ( 192.168.0.254 ).
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the
Gateway. If the default values are left intact, the Gateway supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the network.
Note that the first three groups of numbers of the addresses are identical; this
means they are on the same subnet. The
IP address of the Gateway must be
on the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the
Gateway’s IP address is changed to 10.33.222.1 , set the beginning IP address to
10.33.222.2 , and the ending IP address to 10.33.222.254 .
