1. If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with
other computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based Cable or a DSL modem
with an established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
2. It’s best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for
configuring the DI-604 router. The DI-604 Router 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.
These are the items included with your DI-604 purchase:
