DG834N RangeMax NEXT Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router Reference Manual - RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. • RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. • RIP-2M uses multicasting. Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the wireless modem router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. DHCP By default, the wireless modem router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) 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 will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. 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 "Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:" 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 may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses. The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP: • An IP Address from the range you have defined • Subnet Mask • Gateway IP Address is the router's LAN IP address • Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu; otherwise, the router's LAN IP address Advanced Configuration 6-5 v1.0, May 2006

DHCP
By default, the wireless modem router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol) 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 will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of
addresses specified in this menu. 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
“Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:” 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 may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP Address from the range you have defined
•
Subnet Mask
•
Gateway IP Address is the router’s LAN IP address
•
Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address
Note:
If you change the LAN IP address of the wireless modem router while connected
through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new
connection to the new IP address and log in again.
