PC Configuration

This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.

4.1. Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
• Wireless

configuration

4.2. Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the
Wireless Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essen-
tial that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

TCP/IP Settings - Overview

If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP
settings, no changes need to be made.

• By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing

a suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.

• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a

DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:
• The

Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Router

• The

DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 - Ad-
vanced Setup
for details.
