Chapter 5: Configure the Router
This chapter will show you how to configure the Router to function in your net-
work and gain access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Detailed description of the Router’s Web-based Utility can be found in
“Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility.” You will set the Internet
Connection Type on the Router’s Basic Setup tab based on the information pro-
vided by your ISP, who may also require the use of a Host Name and Domain
Name.
You will need the setup information from your ISP.
If you do not have
this information, please contact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using the Router to share Internet access among
several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Router
instead of your PC. You only need to configure the Router once using the first
computer you set up.
