LAN Setup Screen Fields
Use this screen to view or change the LAN setup fields.
LAN TCP/IP Setup
IP Address
. The LAN IP address of the modem router.
IP Subnet Mask
. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. When combined with the
IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know the following:
-
Which other addresses are local to it
-
Which other addresses must be reached through a gateway
DHCP IP Pool
Starting IP Address
. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the modem router.
Ending IP Address
. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the modem router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the DHCP server of the modem router. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
Use the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. This capability allows the modem
router to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected
to the LAN that is connected to the modem router. The assigned default gateway address is
the LAN address of the modem router. The modem router assigns IP addresses to the
attached computers from a pool of addresses that are 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 modem router are satisfactory.
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that can be assigned by setting the starting IP
address and ending IP address. These addresses are part of the same IP address subnet as
the LAN that is connected to the modem router. Using the default addressing scheme, you
define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254. You can save part of the range for
devices with fixed addresses.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
An IP address from the range you have defined
Subnet mask
Gateway IP address (the LAN IP address of the modem router)

Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;
otherwise, the LAN IP address of the modem router)
Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup
screen)
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server or to configure manually the
network settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check box
and click the
Apply
button. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If this service is not
enabled and no other DHCP server is available on your network, set the IP addresses of your
computer manually or other devices cannot access the modem router.
Address Reservation
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 DHCP server of the modem router.
Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.

3.
In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an
IP address from the LAN subnet of the modem router, such as 192.168.0.x.)
4.
Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip:
If the computer is already on your network, copy its MAC address from
the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
5.
To enter the reserved address into the table, click the
Apply
button.
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the DHCP
server of the modem router. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration and force
a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry, select the radio button next to the reserved
address you want to edit or delete. Then click
Edit
or
Delete
