Note: If the Modem’s

LAN IP

address is modified, ensure the

DHCP

server range is within the same subnet. For more infor-

mation, see “

DHCP

Server Configuration.”

After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to
make all changes permanent.

DHCP Server

Selecting

DHCP

Server in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gener-

ates the “

DHCP

Server” screen. The Modem has a built-in

DHCP

(Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol) server that automatically assigns a different

address to

each computer on the network, eliminating

address conflicts.

The factory default setting is On. To disable the

DHCP

server, select Off.

Actiontec strongly recommends 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.”
