Change Computer IP Settings
It may be necessary to change the IP settings on your computer. The computer connected to the Router should be
configured to obtain its IP settings from the Router. This will enable you to configure the Router using a web
browser. If your computer has more than one Ethernet interface, make sure that the Ethernet port connected to
the Router is the only Ethernet interface that is currently enabled. Disconnect all other Ethernet ports. You can
find out if the Ethernet port is configured to automatically obtain IP settings (configured as DHCP client) by
checking its TCP/IP properties.
The procedures below describe how to configure Microsoft operating systems to obtain IP settings from a DHCP
server. For other operating systems, please consult the documentation concerning IP settings. The next page
describes how to renew IP settings on a computer running Windows with an Ethernet interface already
configured to obtain IP settings automatically.
