In the unusual event that you have a separate DHCP server on your LAN, you can
disable the Cable Modem/Router’s DHCP server by selecting the No radio button. If you
do this, make sure the IP address assigned to the Cable Modem/Router is on the same
subnet as that of the external DHCP server, or you won’t be able to access the Cable
Modem/Router from the LAN. The base LAN IP address of the Cable Modem/Router can
be set from the Basic Setup page.
Note that the Cable Modem/Router will only operate on a class C subnet, with subnet
mask 255.255.255.0
You may also want to disable the DHCP server if you have assigned static IP addresses
to all devices on your network.

or select No to disable it.
Starting Local
Address
Configure the starting IP address for IP leases available to devices

Lease Time
Configure the time a lease will last before it must be renewed.
Default is 86400 seconds, or 1 day.
DDNS
The DDNS page allows you to make use of a DDNS server. Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
allows a dynamic IP address to be aliased to a static, pre-defined host name so that the
host can be easily contacted by other hosts on the internet even if its IP address
changes. This means you can host a server on your LAN that can be accessed from
anywhere on the Internet.
Caution:
Some service providers may consider connection of such a server to be a
breach of your service agreement.
The Cable Modem/Router supports a dynamic DNS client compatible with the Dynamic
DNS service (
). You must sign up with this service if you want to
use it.
To access the
DDNS
page:
1
Click
Basic
in the menu bar.
2
Then click the
DDNS
submenu.
