2. PC Configuration
User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration and
Wireless configuration for each system within Wireless Router’s LAN network.
By default, Wireless Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it
automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all non-server
versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client. If user chooses fixed
IP addresses for client systems, the Gateway of the client system must be set to the IP
address of the Wireless Router and DNS of the client system should be set to the address
provided by your ISP.
