Inferring an IP Address

Using the example above, 192.168.10.10 is the IP address assigned to your Ethernet adapter. This tells you that you should assign an IP address beginning with 192.168.10.x. The last number, possibly 11 in this case, could be free.

1Use the ping command (just like using ipconfig – see above) to verify if the address is free, type ping 192.168.10.11.

2If you do not see the word “reply,” then most likely the IP address is free.

For the following reasons, the above instruction might not work:

•You may have two network adapters installed in the computer, so you need to know which one is being used for the wireless network.

•You statically assigned your Ethernet adapter’s IP address and it is not the same as the router’s network. In this case, access your router to discover the information. Refer to your router’s documentation for further details.

Hardware Setup

If you chose to dynamically assign an IP address to your WPS870G, follow the Wireless Router connection procedure. If you chose static IP assignment, either hardware connection procedure can work.
