and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default
gateway address is the LAN address of the DST router.
You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or specify the network
settings of all your computers.

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
