Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway

Obtain an IP Through DHCP

Select this option (used for cable modem configurations without a Static

assigned by an

ISP

) to allow the modem to query the

ISP

and receive

address and

routing information. Some

ISP

s need to authenticate their end users with a Host

Name and/or Domain Name. If this is the case, check with the

ISP

for a host name

and domain name and enter them in the “Broadband Connection via

DHCP

”

screen. If the

ISP

does not require these settings, leave the text boxes blank.

☞

Note: Host and domain name information may also be accessed

from the computer originally connected to the cable modem.

Specify a Static IP Address

Select this option if assigned a static (specific)

Address by the ISP. Enter the

Address, along with the Subnet Mask and Default Gateway Address (also pro-
vided by the

ISP

), in the “Broadband Connection via Static

Address” screen. If

required to provide a Host Name and Domain Name, enter them here as well.
