1. Thank you for purchasing this Router to share your high-speed Internet connection
with other computers. To share high-speed Broadband access, you must have
either an Ethernet-based cable or DSL modem with an established Internet account
from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. It is best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for
configuring the DI-808HV. The DI-808HV acts as a DHCP server and will assign all
the necessary IP address information on your network. See Appendix at the end
of this Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM for setting each
network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.
