Chapter 2 Connecting the Router
Computer Network Conguration
Each network interface on the computer should either be configured with a stati-
cally defined IP address and DNS address, or instructed to automatically obtain an
IP address using the Network DHCP server. The Router is set up, by default, with an
active DHCP server, and we recommend leaving this setting as is.
