Setting Up your Computers

In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you will need to change your computer’s “TCP/IP Ethernet” settings to “Obtain an IP address automatically/Using DHCP”. This is normally the default setting in most home computers.

You can set up the computer that is connected to the ADSL modem FIRST using these steps. You can also use these steps to add computers to your Router after the Router has been set up to connect to the Internet.
