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.
