Configuring your Computers
This appendix provides instructions for configuring the Internet
settings on your computers to work with the device.
Configuring Ethernet PCs
Before you begin
By default, the device automatically assigns the required
Internet settings to your PCs. You need to configure the PCs to
accept this information when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information
manually to some or all of your computers rather than allow the
device to do so. See Assigning static Internet information to your
PCs for instructions.
