Chapter 6 Advanced 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 Gateway. For more information, see
“DHCP Server Configuration.”
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 fac-
tory 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 fac-
tory 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.
DNS (Dynamic or Static) - the type of DNS server provided by the
Internet Service Provider (ISP). If the ISP provided DNS server
information, select the type here. If not, leave as is.
