How Do I Configure My DOCSIS Residential Gateway?
Setup > Lan Setup
The Setup Lan Setup page allows you to configure the settings for the Local Area
Network (LAN) in your home. These settings include the range of IP addresses that
define the LAN itself as well as how the addresses are assigned (automatically by
DHCP or manually) as new devices are added to the network.
Important:
Unless you are knowledgeable about administering IP addresses, we
recommend that you do not change these settings. If you change these values
incorrectly, you can lose Internet access.
Select the
Lan Setup
tab to open the Setup Lan Setup page.
Configuring Your Network Settings
Use the descriptions and instructions in the following table to configure the network
settings for your residential gateway. After you make your selections, click

(DHCP)
DHCP Server
Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP server in the
residential gateway. The DHCP server is used to automatically
allocate IP addresses to devices as they are attached to your home
network.
Connected Devices Summary page
Click
Connected Devices Summar
y in the Lan Setup page. The
Connected Devices Summary page opens. This page is a pop-up
window that displays the MAC Address and IP Address of the
devices that are connected to the residential gateway.
Pre-assigned DHCP IP Addresses page
Click
Pre-assigned DHCP IP Addresses
in the Lan Setup page.
The Pre-assigned DHCP IP Addresses page opens. This page
allows you to assign a specific IP address to a PC or other device
when they request an IP address using DHCP. Only addresses
within the range of the gateway's DHCP address pool can be
reserved with this feature.
Notes:
–
The
Add Static IP
button adds the Static IP address to the
list of pre-assigned IP addresses.
–
The
Remove Static IP
button removes the Static IP
address from the list of pre-assigned IP addresses
Starting IP Address
Displays the starting address used by the built-in DHCP server to
distribute Private LAN IP addresses. Because the device default
IP address of the gateway is
192.168.0.1
, the starting IP address
must be
192.168.0.2
or greater, but smaller than
192.168.0.253
. The
default Starting IP Address is
192.168.0.10

Field Description
Maximum Number of DHCP Users
Enter the maximum number of users to which the DHCP server
can assign IP addresses for use in the LAN. This number cannot
be greater than 254 minus the starting IP address described
above.
Client Lease Time
The Client Lease Time is the amount of time an IP address is
valid. IP address leases are renewed automatically by your PC
and other devices that use DHCP to obtain IP addresses. If a lease
is allowed to expire, the IP address will be returned to the pool of
available IP addresses that can be assigned by the DHCP server
as new devices are added to your network. The default is 60
minutes when the gateway is online.
LAN Static DNS (Domain Name Server) 1-3
DNS is used by a PC or other client devices to discover the public
IP address associated with a URL or the name-based address of a
website. You can manually specify which DNS servers are to be
used by devices in your network by entered the IP addresses of
those servers in these fields. Otherwise, the gateway will forward
the DNCS server information from your service provider
automatically. The default is to leave these fields blank.
Time Settings
Time Zone
Select the time zone for your location. If your location follows
daylight saving time, select
Automatically adjust clock for
daylight saving time
.
Setup > DDNS
Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) provides the residential gateway (that may
have a changing IP address) with a host name or URL resolvable by network
applications through standard DNS queries. DDNS is useful when you are hosting
your own website, FTP server, or other server behind the device. Before using this
feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service.
Select the
