Check your IP address

After you install your new D-Link adapter or if you already have an Ethernet adapter installed on your computer, by
default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. router) automatically. To
verify your IP address, please follow the steps below.
