2. PC Configuration
User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration and
Wireless configuration for each system within Wireless Router’s LAN network.
By default, Wireless Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it
automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all non-server
versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client. If user chooses fixed
IP addresses for client systems, the Gateway of the client system must be set to the IP
address of the Wireless Router and DNS of the client system should be set to the address
provided by your ISP.

procedures are showing below:
a) Access your ADSL Router Modem and configure the Internet setup (VPI, VCI, and
Encapsulation); and then, save the settings. (PS. Most of ISP companies will set the
default internet setup already for the user).
b) Log in your wireless broadband router, Select “TCP/IP Setting” Section ΓWAN

field can be left blank.
d) Close the TCP/IP panel and save your new settings.
If you decide to assign IP addresses manually instead of DHCP, set the Router
Address field with wireless router’s IP address and make sure DNS settings are
correct.
For Linux Clients
To access Internet via the wireless router, you need to set the wireless router as the
“Gateway”. Make sure login as “root” before attempting any changes.
