The 2Wire HomePortal is the router for the network. The HomePortal reserves the first 32 addresses in the HomePortal network subnet for static use. By default the HomePortal uses the non-routable 172.16.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 subnet. Addresses 172.16.1.1 - 172.16.1.32 are reserved for static IP addresses. The HomePortal's DHCP server delivers addresses 172.16.1.33 - 172.16.1.250 to dynamic IP clients on your HomePortal network.
Note: The HomePortal Home Network IP address scheme can also use 192.168.0.0 / 255.255.0.0 and 10.0.0.0 / 255.255.0.0, or you can configure your own subnet.
The HomePortal supports both Dynamic and Static IP addressing on your HomePortal network. The HomePortal is a DHCP server and will automatically assign an IP address to a network device upon request. However, you can manually configure a static IP address for any device on your HomePortal network.
The first 32 addresses (.1 - .32) in the address range are allocated to static IP addresses. The next 218 addresses (.33 - .250) are allocated to the HomePortal’s DHCP server to deliver to dynamic clients. The last 4 addresses are reserved (.251 - .254).
Below are the settings for the three home network IP range options offered by the HomePortal :
