Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup

LAN IP Address

Selecting LAN IP Address in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gen-
erates the “

LAN IP

Address” screen.

The values in the

“Device IP

Address” and “Device

LAN

Netmask” text boxes are the

address and Subnet mask of the Gateway as seen on the network. These values

can be modified for your

LAN

network, but Actiontec recommends keeping the

default factory settings (

address 192.168.0.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0).

☞

Note: If the Gateway’s

LAN IP

Address is modified, ensure the

DHCP

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

mation, see “

DHCP

Server Configuration.”

After changing settings, click Next or Back to continue, or Save and Restart to
make all changes permanent.

DHCP Server

Selecting

DHCP

Server in the “Configuring the Advanced Settings” screen gener-

ates the “

DHCP

Server” screen. The Gateway has a built-in

DHCP

(Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol) server that automatically assigns a different

address to

each computer on the network, eliminating

address conflicts.

The factory default setting is On. To disable the

DHCP

Server, select Off.
