Most connections utilize a dynamic IP (DHCP) and the default is already set to this. If you 
have another connection type (like static IP), you will need to click on „Convenient Setup‟ in 

the menu and input information given you by your service provider and then click save.

You  may  already  be  connected  to  the  Internet.  Click  on  “System  Information”-  “Internet 
access info” to see if you have an IP, Gateway, etc (refer to the following picture). If not, your 

service provider probably requires you clone the MAC address of your computer to the outer. 

To do so, click on “Internet Setup” in the menu, then click on “Clone MAC Address” button

click the “Save” button below.
