Configuring DHCP By default, the wireless-N 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-N 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. See the online document that you can access from "TCP/IP Networking Basics" in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. 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 LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

Configuring DHCP
By default, the wireless-N 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-N 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. See the
online document that you can access from
“TCP/IP Networking Basics” in Appendix B
for an
explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
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 LAN IP
address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router delivers the following settings to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range you have defined
