The Actiontec box can easily be configured by pointing your browser to 
the gateway address (probably 192.168.0.1)

http://192.168.0.1

On my model (R1520SU) I can enable or disable DHCP.  When I enable DHCP 
the default set of IP addresses is all possible (192.168.0.2 - 
192.168.0.254) which I can change.  When DHCP is disabled I am not given 
any control over the IP addresses and I have only used up to 192.168.0.7 
so far.
