If you selected “Distribute a range of IP addresses” when you set up the wireless
device’s network, you can provide Internet access to client computers using
Ethernet by setting the client IP addresses manually. Select Ethernet in the
network connection services list, and then choose Manually from the Configure
pop-up menu.

When you configure Ethernet clients manually for a wireless device that provides
NAT over Ethernet, you can use IP addresses in the range 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200.

In the Subnet Mask field, enter 255.255.255.0. In the Router field, enter 10.0.1.1.

Enter the same name server address and search domain information that you
entered in the wireless device configuration.
