Configuring your Computers
This appendix provides instructions for configuring the Internet
settings on your computers to work with the Wireless ADSL2+
Router.
Configuring Ethernet PCs
Before you begin
By default, the Wireless ADSL2+ Router automatically assigns
the required Internet settings to your PCs. You need to
configure the PCs to accept this information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
Wireless ADSL2+ Router to do so. See
Assigning static Internet
information to your PCs
for instructions.
