Chapter 6 Configuring Advanced Settings
Beginning IP Address, Ending IP Address
These are the IP addresses at which the DHCP server starts and stops assigning IP
addresses. Actiontec recommends keeping the factory default settings for these IP
addresses (192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, respectively).
The beginning and ending IP addresses define the IP address range of the
Modem. If the default values are left intact, the Modem supplies a unique IP
address between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254 to each computer on the net-
work. 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 Modem must
be on the same subnet as the IP address range it generates. For instance, if the
Modem’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.
