Configuring the Wireless Router
10
4.4.3
Static IP Address
Your ISP provides a static IP address to access Internet services.
4.4.4
Clone MAC Address
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.
4.4.5
DNS
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.
4.5
LAN
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.
4.6
WIRELESS
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.
4.6.1
Channel and SSID
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.
