Conguring your Computers
This appendix provides instructions for conguring the Internet settings on your
computers to work with the Wireless ADSL2+ Router.
Conguring Ethernet PCs
Before you begin
By default, the Wireless ADSL2+ Router automatically assigns the required Inter-
net settings to your PCs. You need to congure the PCs to accept this information
when it is assigned.
Note
In some cases, you may want to assign Internet information manually to some
or all of your computers rather than allow the Wireless ADSL2+ Router to do so.
