Chapter 3 Using Custom 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 Router. For more information, see “
DHCP
Server Configuration” below.
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 facto-
ry default settings (
192.168.0.254
).
The beginning and ending
IP
addresses define the IP address range of the
Router. If the default values are left intact, the Router supplies a unique
IP
address between
192.168.0.2
and
192.168.0.254
to each computer on its 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 Router must be on the
same subnet as the
IP
address range it generates. For instance, if the Router’s
IP
address is changed to
111.33.222.1
, set the beginning
IP
address to
111.33.222.2
,
and the ending
IP
address to
111.33.222.254
.
