DHCP

By default, the wireless modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
(DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all
computers connected to the wireless modem router's LAN. The assigned default gateway
address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs
from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is
assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check
box. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending
IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router's
