Chapter 4 Using 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 Router. For more information, see “DHCP
Server Configuration.”
DHCP Server Configuration
Clicking Next in the “DHCP Server” screen (if the DHCP server is activated) generates
the “DHCP Server Configuration” screen. Change IP address range and DNS server
information here.
Beginning IP Address
The “Beginning IP Address” is 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 “Ending IP Address” is the IP Address at which the DHCP Server stops
assigning IP addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default set-
tings (192.168.0.254).
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the
Router. If the default values are left intact, the Router supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the network.
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 Router must be on the
same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the Router’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.
