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 m

ust be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router
’s LAN IP address. The default
DHCP address pool is 192.168.0.2–192.168.0.254.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the r

ange that you define
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
• DNS ser

ver IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

							Disable the Built-In DHCP Server
By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default
gate
way addresses to all devices connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address
of the 
modem router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server or specify the network settings of all your computers. If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available on your network, you
must set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the modem 
router.
Note

Set Up and Manage Custom Static Routes Static routes provide detailed routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do not need to add static
routes

. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as when you use multiple routers or multiple
IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through an ADSL modem to an ISP.
• You use an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This
router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your 
modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created
with y
our ISP as the gateway and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x
addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router
forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the
request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case, you must define a static route, instructing your modem router that 134.177.0.0 is accessed through the
ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. Here is an example:
• Through the destination IP address and IP subnet mask, specify that this\
 static route applies to all 134.177.x.x
addresses

.
• Through the gateway IP address, specify that all traffic for these addresses is forwarded to the ISDN modem
router
 at 192.168.0.100.
• A metric value of 1 works fine because the ISDN modem router
 is on the LAN.

bnet mask, gateway IP address, and metric. Manage the WAN and LAN Network Settings
