Windows TCP/IP

Overview
Normally, no changes need to be made.
By default, the Wireless Access Point will act as a DHCP client, automatically obtaining a
suitable IP Address (and related information) from your DHCP Server.
If using Fixed (specified) IP addresses on your LAN (instead of a DHCP Server), there is
no need to change the TCP/IP of each PC. Just configure the Wireless Access Point to
match your existing LAN.
The following sections provide details about checking the TCP/IP settings for various types of
Windows, should that be necessary.
