LAN IP Address

Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen
generates the “LAN IP Address” screen. The value in the LAN IP Address text box
is the IP address of the Modem as seen on the network.
The LAN IP address of the Modem can be modified, but Actiontec recommends
keeping the default factory setting (192.168.0.1).

☞

Note: If the Modem’s

LAN IP

Address is modified, verify the

DHCP

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

mation, see “

DHCP

Server Configuration.”

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 your network, eliminating IP 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” below.
