Chapter 4: Configuring the Router
This chapter will show you how to configure the Router to function in your net-
work and gain access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Detailed description of the Router’s Web-based Utility can be found in
the Chapter 5: Using the Router’s Web-Based Utility. Your ISP may require the
use of a Host Name and Domain Name. Further, you will set the WAN
Configuration Type on the Router’s Setup tab from the information given by
your ISP. You will need this setup information from your ISP. If you do not have
this information, please contact your ISP before proceeding.
The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Since you are now using the Router to share Internet access among sev-
eral computers, you will use this setup information for Router configuration.
