If an Auto-configuration IP address is displayed, that indicates possible broadband
network problems or an improper connection between your computer and the SVG2501.
The Auto-configuration IP address, ranging from 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255, is
reserved for Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA).
This can occur if the gateway is configured to automatically obtain an IP address from a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. When Auto-configuration is
enabled, Windows will automatically assign an IP address if the gateway is unable to
obtain one. Because this automatically assigned IP address is not valid, you will not be
able to access the Internet using the gateway.
