by allowing connection of more wireless and wired computers. You MUST turn off the DHCP server on the router if there is a
DHCP server already in your network running to avoid IP address conflicts. To disable the DHCP server functions, follow the
steps below:
1. Open your web browser and go to http://my.router , or the default IP address http://192.168.2.1 .
The Enter Network Password login prompt appears.

3. Click the OK button.
4. Go to the Basic Settings menu option tab on the top navigation bar and wait for the menu to appear.
