Configuring the Wireless Router

10

Your ISP provides a static IP address to access Internet services.

Some ISP’s require you to register your MAC address with them. If you 
have done this, the MAC address of the router must be changed to the 
MAC address that you supplied to your ISP.

Domain Name Servers (DNS) are used to map a domain name (e.g., 
www.philips.com) with the IP address (e.g., 64.147.25.20). The DNS 
address is usually configured automatically. If this is not the case, one or 
more DNS address will be provided to you by your ISP.
However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need 
to specify the IP address here.

You can enable DHCP to dynamically allocate IP addresses to your 
client PCs, or configure filtering functions based on specific clients or 
protocols. The router must have an IP address for the local network.

The router can be quickly configured as a wireless access point for 
roaming clients by setting the service set identifier (SSID) and channel 
number. It also supports data encryption and client filtering. Check the 
box to enable the wireless module function.

You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service Set ID) to 
be used by the Wireless Router and all of its wireless clients. Make sure 
you configure all of its clients to the same values.
