Setting Up Your Network Stations

Setting Up Your Network

Stations

Before you continue, ensure that you have:

❏ Followed the tips and suggestions provided in Before You

Begin... on page 9.

❏ Selected the setup for your Wireless Router that is most

appropriate for your existing or new network. (See page 10.)

❏ Installed your Wireless Router. (See page 12.)

The next step on the Installation Task List (see page 8) is to ensure

that all the computer stations on your network are set up to

communicate with your Wireless Router.

Note: By default, your Wireless Router provides DHCP server

service. If you have disabled DHCP, re-enable it before

continuing.

Refer to your operating system’s documentation to configure your

wired network stations:

1 Ensure that the TCP/IP protocol for your network adapter is

installed.

2 Ensure that your network adapter is set to obtain an IP address

automatically. Your network adapter should have DHCP

enabled.

3 Repeat these steps for each computer station on your LAN.

Note: To configure a wireless network station, ensure that its

SSID and WEP settings are the same as on your Wireless

Router. Refer to your wireless adapter’s documentation for

instructions.

To continue with your next Installation Task, see Understanding the

Web-based Wireless Router Utility on page 22.
