Statically Assign an IP Address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow the steps below:

Windows® XP Users

• Click on Start > Control Panel. Make sure you are in Classic View. Double-click on the Network Connections icon.

• Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your D-Link wireless network adapter (or other adapter) which will be connected

to your router.

• Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.

• Click Use the following IP address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your network or LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If the router’s LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where

X is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the

network.

• Set Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.

• Set Primary DNS as the LAN IP address of your router or gateway.

• The Secondary DNS is optional (you may enter a DNS server from your ISP).

• Click OK to save your settings.
