Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool
By default, the modem router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
that are connected to its LAN and WiFi network. The assigned default gateway address is the
LAN address of the modem router.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP
address. The default DHCP address pool is 192.168.0.10–192.168.0.254, with IP address
192.168.0.10 reserved for ReadySHARE. The first IP address that the DHCP server can
assign to an attached device is 192.168.0.11.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range that you define
•
Subnet mask
•
Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
•
DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
To specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.

check box is selected.
This check box is selected by default.

Specify the range of IP addresses that the modem router assigns:
•
In the
Starting IP Address
field, enter the lowest number in the range.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the
starting IP address is 192.168.0.2.
•
In the
Ending IP Address
field, enter the number at the end of the range of IP
addresses.
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the
ending IP address is 192.168.0.254.

Manage Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) enables devices, such as Internet devices and computers, to
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance, NETGEAR recommends
that you keep UPnP enabled, which is the default setting.

network.

UPnP
.
The previous figure shows sample entries in the UPnP Portmap Table.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing
the modem router and which internal and external ports that device opened. The UPnP
Portmap Table also displays what type of port (that is, the protocol that is associated with
the port) is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.
6.
To turn off UPnP, clear the
Turn UPnP On
check box.
By default, this check box is selected. If you clear the
Turn UPnP On
check box, the
modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as
port forwarding (mapping), of the modem router.
7.
To change the advertisement period, in the
Advertisement Period
field, enter a new period
in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the modem router broadcasts its UPnP
information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is
30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points can obtain current device status

at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the
freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.
8.
To change the advertisement time to live value, in the
Advertisement Time to Live
field,
enter a new value in hops.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which is fine
for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.

Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.

To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the
Refresh
button.
The information onscreen is updated.
