common residential routers have DHCP enabled by default. 
If  you  are  unable  to  determine  this,  proceed  under  the 
assumption that it is enabled and the next steps will confirm 
if it is enabled or not. 

 

Log  in  to  the  MAIN  MENU  and  click  the  SYSTEM  icon, 
then  the  NETWORK  icon.  The  NETWORK  menu  will  be 
shown as below: 
 

 

 
Click  in  the  checkbox  next  to  DHCP  ENABLE  so  the  box 
remains checked. Click OK to lock in this setting then restart 
the  HVR.  Once  the  HVR  has  rebooted,  return  to  this  page. 
The  settings  shown  on  this  network page  will  be  correct.  If 
the  IP  address  is  grayed-out,  there  may  be  a  problem  with 
the network cable or connections or the DHCP setting on the 
router may not be enabled. If this is the case please check all 
cables and connections and consult the router’s user manual 
to determine how to enable DHCP.
