Configuring TCP/IP Properties
After the TCP/IP protocol components are installed, each PC must be assigned specific
information about itself and resources that are available on its network. The simplest way to
configure this information is to allow the PC to obtain the information from the internal DHCP
server of the Model MR314 router.
If you are using DHCP with the recommended default addresses, you can configure your PCs by
following these steps:
1.
Install TCP/IP on each PC, leaving the PC configured to obtain configuration settings
automatically (by DHCP).
2.
In the wireless adapter configuration of your wireless-interfaced PCs, set the ESSID to the
router’s default ESSID:
Wireless
(note the capitalization). Disable WEP encryption.
3.
Connect your Ethernet-interfaced PCs to the router.
4.
Restart the router and allow it to boot.
5.
Restart each PC.
Note:
If an ISP technician configured your PC during the installation of a broadband
modem, or if you configured it using instructions provided by your ISP, you may need to
copy the current configuration information for use in the configuration of your router.
