Manual Setup Verizon Router Mac

Actiontec, who makes Verizon's FIOS fiber-optic Internet routers, recommend that you use the default DHCP connections provided by the router for computers and other equipment connected to the router. DHCP, or Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, dynamically allocates IP addresses as requested by the equipment connected. Most equipment works fine like this. Sometimes, in the case of some specialized equipment, like a Slingbox media server, the manufacturer will recommend setting a static IP address. You can have a combination of DHCP and static IP addressing.
