Actiontec 1520 Notes

  1. The reset button on the back of the DSL Actiontec modem or the Utility Menu can be used to restore Default Settings.
  2. If the Actiontec modem is restored to Default Settings, it is configured via http://192.168.0.1.
  3. The /29-/26 Static IP services will typically use pure routing on the DSL Actiontec modem. The customer PCs or PCs will be manually configured with IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway, and DNS server addresses. In this case, http://LAST_USABLE_IP is used to access and configure the modem.
  4. The /29-/26 Static IP services can be used with NAT routing and/or DHCP on the DSL Actiontec modem. This will be the exception since most customers have leased a larger block for pure routing, and they will manually configure IP settings on the PC(s). The configuration for this exception has not been provided.
