Notes
• During DHCP configuration, take special care to ensure that the IP address, Netmask,
Gateway and Range settings match each other. Under normal circumstances the IP address
and the gateway address should be the same.
• It is recommended to leave Primary DNS and Secondary DNS fields at their default settings,
which will allow you to use your operator’s DNS servers. However, these addresses can be
changed to use other servers, e.g. Open DNS.
