Actiontec USB/Ethernet DSL Modem User Manual
How do I upgrade the Modem’s firmware?
After bringing up the Utilities section of the Web Management Tool and select-
ing “Upgrade Firmware,” click “Upgrade Here.” (See Chapter 4 “Using Utilities,”
for more information.) Another Web page appears, which contains the latest
firmware available for the Modem, as well as firmware upgrades for other
Actiontec products. Make sure you download firmware for the Modem.
How do I change my IP address from Static to Dynamic,and why do I need
to do this?
You should change the Ethernet connection IP address from Static to DHCP
(Dynamic Host Connection Protocol) to take advantage of the Modem’s ability
to provide all the computers on your network a different IP address every time
you connect to the Internet. Doing this allows you to effectively share your
Internet connection without having to purchase a separate IP address for each
computer.
To change your Ethernet connection from Static to DHCP, choose the operating
system used on your computer, and follow the directions.
