The default DHCP and TCP/IP values work for most users.
Note:
Device Name. This is an abbreviated name of the modem router. You see this name
•
for the router in Network Explorer on Windows systems.
Use Auto IP. Select this check box if you want the modem router to set up the LAN IP
•
addresses automatically.
IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.
•
IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP
•
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local
to it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.
Use Router as DHCP Server. By default, the 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 modem router's LAN.
The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses
are assigned to the attached computers 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.
Reserved IP Addresses Setup. When you specify a reserved IP address for a
•
computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time
it accesses the router's DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to
servers that require permanent IP settings.
