TCP/IP network, Internet and/or wireless settings may need to be checked
for each connected PC to ensure they’re correct and compatible.
For PCs with the following Windows platforms, this is the rst step in
ensuring smooth operation in conjunction with the router. Because the
router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, it is critical
that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and congured on each PC.
If using the default router settings and the default Windows TCP/IP
settings, no changes need to be made. By default, the 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 settings act as a DHCP client.
If using a xed (specied) IP address, the gateway must be set to the router’s
IP address, and the DNS should be set to the ISP-provided address.
