DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) automatically assigns an IP address to each device on the
network and manages other network configuration information for devices connected to your
network. You do not need to manually configure the IP address on each device that’s on your
network.
The assigned IP addresses are not permanent (as opposed to when using static IP).
Most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) use DHCP.
Normally, you should enable DHCP, in which case you must configure each device on the network
with one of the following:
n
TCP/IP settings set to “Obtain an IP address automatically.”
n
TCP/IP bound to the Ethernet connection with DHCP.
If DHCP is disabled, you must configure each device on the network with:
n
Fixed (permanent/static) IP address.
n
DNS server addresses (provided by Sprint).
To enable DHCP:
1. On a computer or wireless device that is connected to your gateway, launch a Web browser.
2. In the address or URL field of your browser, type
http://myrouter
.
3. When prompted to log in, enter
admin
for the user name and type the password. (The default
password is
password
.)

DHCP IP Range
: This is the starting and ending address of the range of IP addresses
available for your device to dynamically (that is, not permanently) assign to computers
connected to it.
Note:
The start address must be 192.168.0.10 or above and the ending address must be
192.168.0.50 or below.
