1. A Home Internet Network with A Residential Gateway/Router
(continued)
(Requirements: A Residential Gateway/Router connected with an
Ethernet (CAT5) cable to an 802.11a/b Access Point such as the DWL-
5000AP.)
This type of installation requires that you provide a dynamic IP address
for each computer on your network. You will need a DHCP-capable
Residential Gateway/Router for your network.
To complete the installation, please follow these steps:
1. Connect the Router/Gateway (for example, the D-Link DI-704P)
to a Broadband connection, (e.g., a Cable modem such as the D-
Link DCM-200 cable modem or a DSL modem such as the D-
Link DSL-300.)
2. Connect the 802.11a/b Access Point (DWL-5000AP
) to the router.
3. Install the D-Link DWL-AB520 Wireless PCI Adapter into a
desktop computer on your wireless network. (You can also install
the Wireless Cardbus Adapter into a laptop computer. Please
refer to the Quick Install Guide included with each product.)
DHCP stands for
Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol.
It is a protocol for
assigning dynamic IP
addresses
“automatically.” With a
DHCP-capable
gateway, there is no
need to manually
assign an IP address.
