Information you will need about your LAN or computer
:
Ethernet NIC 
If your computer has an Ethernet NIC, you can connect the DSL-2640B to this Ethernet port using an Ethernet cable. You can also use the Ethernet 
ports on the DSL-2640B to connect to other computer or Ethernet devices. 
DHCP Client status 
Your DSL-2640B ADSL Router is configured, by default, to be a DHCP server. This means that it can assign an IP address, subnet mask, and a 
default gateway address to computers on your LAN. The default range of IP addresses the DSL-2640B will assign are from 192.168.1.2 to 
192.168.1.254. Your computer (or computers) needs to be configured to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, they need to be configured as 
DHCP clients.)     
It is recommended that your collect and record this information here, or in some other secure place, in case you have to re-configure your ADSL 
connection in the future. 
Once you have the above information, you are ready to setup and configure your DSL-2640B Wireless ADSL Router.
