- Select this if the PC is set
to be a DCHP client, and you wish to guarantee that the
ADSL2/2+ Broadband Router will always allocate the same IP
Address to this PC.
Enter the required IP address.
•
Fixed IP Address
- Select this if the PC is using a Fixed (Static)
IP address. Enter the IP address allocated to the PC. (The PC itself
must be configured to use this IP address.)
