The default values are suitable for most users and situations.

For the IP Address Source, select Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP Client) if you have a DHCP Server on your LAN. Otherwise, select Use this IP address and enter the following IP settings:

•IP Address — the IP address is assigned to the Wireless Game Adapter. If you have a private LAN and do not plan to connect to the TCP/IP based internet, NETGEAR recommends that you use an address from the IETF-designated private address list (for example, 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x). The first three numbers should match the numbers in the Gateway address and the last number needs to be unique on the network.

•Subnet Mask — the subnet mask defines the range of addresses that are reachable on your local LAN. For example, in a network with a NETGEAR router, the default subnet mask is usually 255.255.255.0.

•Default Gateway — the IP address of the router on your network. For example, in a network with a NETGEAR router, the gateway address is usually 192.168.0.1 or 192.168.1.1.

The Device Name is the NetBIOS name used by Windows networks. On Windows PCs, you may see the NetBIOS name for the wireless game adapter listed under Network Neighborhood. You can change the default Device Name on this screen if you like.

After changing the configuration, click the Save button to save the values permanently to the Wireless Game Adapter. If you click Cancel, no modifications will be made.
