Configuring TCP/IP Properties
At this point, your PC is configured to obtain its TCP/IP configuration information automatically
from a DHCP server on the local network. The Model RM356 router is shipped preconfigured as a
DHCP server and will assign the TCP/IP configuration information described in the previous
section.

If you will be using the configuration recommended by NETGEAR:
1. Turn on the router. Be sure the router has been on for at least one minute before
continuing to step 2.
2. Reboot your PC.
For additional configuration information, such as DNS addresses, you can either add the
information to the DHCP setup of the router and reboot the PC again or enter the information
