Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet
access via the Wireless Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions,
so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on
each PC.

TCP/IP Settings

Overview

If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

❑ By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server,

automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and related
information) to each PC when the PC boots.

❑ For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting

is to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are
required:

❑ The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the wireless router.

❑ The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

Note

If your LAN has a router, the LAN administrator must reconfigure the
router itself.
