PC Configuration

Your PC must be configured to use the TCP/IP protocol suite over the Internet, and to accept Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol address assignments from the router. Although this is the default settings for the PC, it
is a good idea to verify that they have not been changed.

Each supported PC Operating System varies slightly in how the configuration windows are presented. Select
the Operating System installed on the PC connected to the router from the list below and follow the associated
procedure.

window.
