The modem also supports Network Address Translation (NAT) which translates IP
addresses from private internal addresses to globally unique external addresses. NAT
should be enabled for most users. For users who have a public IP address, NAT may be
disabled. If you are not sure, ask your ISP/service provider.
If "DHCP client" is enabled the modem's DHCP client will request the IP address and
subnet mask for the WAN interface. Removing the need to manually configure those
parameters.
If "DHCP client" is not enabled the WAN IP address and Subnet mask have to be set
manually. The parameters should be provided by your ISP/service provider.
"User name" and "Password" should be provided by your ISP/service provider. This is
your account information that identifies your modem when a connection is made.

DHCP
This section is only shown if either "Routed/PPPoA" or "Routed/RFC1483" operating
mode is selected in the previous LAN section.
The modem provides a user-configurable Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
which means that the modem will operate as a DHCP server and dynamically assign IP
addresses to LAN nodes. The DHCP server supports DHCP client hosts on the LAN side
only and will ignore all DHCP requests which arrive from the WAN interface.
You have to supply a range of addresses (Starting IP address and Ending IP address) that
the modem can hand out to your computer.
Note:
The "Modem IP address" MUST NOT be within the
specified range, but MUST be on the same IP sub network.
The IP address of the Domain Name System (DNS) should be provided by your
ISP/service provider.
