Chapter 4 Using Advanced Setup
Action tec 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. Action tec 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
.
