-  - Connect the Ethernet port of your computer to the Ethernet 1 port of the router using a standard CAT5 cable with RJ45 (or M12) connectors. +  - If not yet activated, enable DHCP on your computer’s Ethernet interface so that an IP address can be obtained automatically from the router. ​It usually takes a short amount of time until your PC has received the corresponding parameters (IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, name server). You may track the progress by having a look to your network control panel and check whether your PC has correctly retrieved an IP address of the range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199.
