Configuring a wireless Ethernet bridge
Make sure DHCP/Auto IP (automatic network
addressing) is enabled on ALL your network devices
(Wireless Access Point, PCs).
Note: Nowadays the functionality of a Wireless Access Point
and a router are mostly combined into one box. If this is not
the case, the installation may slightly differ from the
instructions below.
&
Enable DHCP/Auto IP on ALL your PCs.
You can check this on your PC with the network
identification tool. See Tools, Network Utility on the
supplied CD.
If DHCP/Auto IP is not enabled, see Annex 4, p. 14
to enable DHCP/Auto IP on your PC.

Enable DHCP/Auto IP on your Wireless Access
Point, see the user manual of your router.

Access Point to make the following settings:
