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
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 net-
work.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.
