3. Configuring the network client
To access the Wireless Router, you must have the correct TCP/IP settings on your wired or
wireless clients. Ensure that the clients’ IP addresses are within the same subnet as the
Wireless Router.
By default, the Wireless Router integrates the DHCP server functions, which automatically
assign IP addresses to the clients in your network.
But in some instances, you may want to manually assign static IP addresses on some of the
clients or computers in your network rather than automatically getting IP addresses from your
wireless router.
Follow the instructions below that correspond to the operating system installed on your client
or computer.
