Getting Started - D-Link Air Xpert DI-774 Manual

Getting Started

Right out of the box, with its default settings, the DI-774
will connect with other D-Link Air, AirPlus,
AirXtremeG, and Air Xpert products.
With a single IP Address from your Broadband Internet Service provider you
can share the Internet with all the computers on your local network, without
sacrificing speed or security, using D-Link Air networking products.
IP ADDRESS
Note: If you are using a DHCP-capable router in your network setup,
such as the DI-774, you will not need to assign a static IP Address.
If you need to assign IP Addresses to the computers on the network,
p l e a s e r e member t h a t t h e IP Address for each computer must be in
the same IP Address range as all the computers in the network, and
the Subnet mask must be exactly the same for all the computers in the
network.
For example: If the first computer is assigned an IP Address of
192.168.0.2 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0, then the second
computer can be assigned an IP Address of 192.168.0.3 with a Subnet
Mask of 255.255.255.0, etc.
IMPORTANT: If computers or other devices are assigned the same
IP Address, one or more of the devices may not be visible on the
network.
