Before You Begin

1. If you purchased this router to share your high-speed Internet connection with other

computers, you must have either an Ethernet-based Cable or DSL modem with an

established Internet account from an Internet Service Provider (ISP).

2. It's best to use the same computer that is connected to your modem for configuring

the DI-524 AirPlus G Wireless Router. The DI-524 acts as a DHCP server and will

assign all the necessary IP address information on your network. See Appendix at

the end of this Quick Installation Guide or the Manual on the CD-ROM for

setting each network adapter to automatically obtain an IP address.
