Actiontec Wireless-Ready DSL Gateway
DHCP Server
Selecting DHCP
Server in the “Advanced Configuration” screen generates the
“DHCP Server” screen. The Gateway has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server that automatically assigns a different
IP address to
each computer on the network, eliminating IP address conflicts.
The factory default setting is On.To disable the DHCP Server, select Off.
Actiontec strongly recommends leaving the
DHCP Server option On.Ifthe DHCP
Server option is Off,ensure the IP addresses of the networked computers are on
the same subnet as the IP address of the Gateway. For more information, see
“DHCP Server Configuration.”
