ASUS SL100
Configuring Your Computers
This section provides instructions for configuring the Internet settings on
your computers to work with the router.
Before you begin
By default, the ASUS SL100 automatically assigns all required Internet
settings to your PCs. You only need to configure the PCs to accept the
information when it is assigned.
In some cases, you may want to configure network settings
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow
the Internet Security Router to do so. See
Assigning static
IP addresses to your PCs
on page 10 for instructions.
If you have connected your PC via Ethernet to the router, follow the
instructions that correspond to the operating system installed on your PC.
