Windows Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the
Wireless Broadband Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless Broadband Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so
it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Wireless Broadband Router settings, and the default
Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
By default, the Wireless Broadband Router will act as a DHCP Server, automati-
cally 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 re-
quired:
•
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Broadband 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.
