Perform the following steps to mount the router on the wall:
Step 1 Secure two screws 7 5/8 inches (19.35 centimeters) apart into a wall and 1/8inch
(0.32 centimeter) from the wall.
Step 2 Hang the router on the screws as shown in Figure 2-8.
Step 3 Place the power supply on a horizontal surface.
Configuring the Router
When you finish installing the router, you must configure the router software.
First, check the PC configurations to ensure that all the connected PCs will be able
to communicate with the router. Then configure the router software, using the web
interface.
Checking the PC Configuration
Each PC that is connected to the router must be configured to use TCP/IP and to
obtain its IP address automatically. Follow these steps to configure each PC that
is running Microsoft Windows NT or Microsoft Windows 95, 98, 2000, Windows
ME, and Windows XP. If the PC is running a different version of Microsoft
Windows, refer to the documentation that came with the PC.
