Ensure your TCP/IP settings are correct. 

 

Using DHCP 

 

To use DHCP, select 

Obtain an IP address automatically

 and 

Obtain DNS server address 

automatically

. This is the default Windows setting. Using this is recommended. By default, the 

Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server. 

 

Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP address from the Wireless Router. 

 

Using a fixed IP Address ("Use the following IP Address") 

If your PC is already configured, check with your network administrator before making the following 
changes. 

 

In the 

Default gateway

 field, enter the Wireless Router 's IP address. Your LAN administrator can 

advise you of the IP address they assigned to the Wireless Router. 

 

If the 

DNS Server 

fields are empty, select 

Use the following DNS server addresses

, and enters the 

DNS address or addresses provided by your ISP, then click 

OK

 

 

Internet Access 

To configure your PCs to use the Wireless Router for Internet access: 

 

Ensure that the ADSL modem, DSL modem, Cable modem, or other permanent connection is 
functional. 

 

Use the following procedure to configure your Browser to access the Internet via the LAN, rather 
than by a Dial-up connection.
