Modems and routers that support DHCP automatically provide theIP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values your product needs to access the Internet so you donot have to enter them manually. Most home networks are Dynamic Networks.Some networks require a Static IP address. If your network requires a Static IP address, you must enterthe IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values manually on your product Cable Setup Screenwhen you set up the network connection. To get the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS values,contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).If you have a Windows computer, you can also get these values through your computer.― You can use ADSL modems that support DHCP if your network requires a Static IP address.― ADSL modems that support DHCP also let you use Static IP addresses.
