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.
(Requirements: A Residential Gateway/Router connected with an Ethernet
(CAT5) cable to an 802.11a Access Point such as the DWL-5000AP or an
802.11b Access Point or another computer with an 802.11a or 802.11b
WLAN adapter installed).
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 Access Point (DWL-5000AP) to the router.
3. Install the D-Link AirPro DWL-AB650 Wireless Cardbus Adapter
into a laptop computer on your wireless network.
4. Check the Device Manager to confirm that the wireless adapter is
installed correctly. Please refer to the Networking Basics section in
