Windows Clients

TCP/IP Settings Overview

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

❑By default, the Wireless 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 setting is to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:

❑The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the wireless router.

❑The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

Note

If your LAN has a router, the LAN administrator must reconfigure the router itself.
