### TCP/IP Configuration

Configuring the TCP/IP Address for the network device:

1. After configuring the wireless network adapter properties, open the Control Panel and open Network and Dial-up Connections.
2. Find the Local Area Connection associated with the wireless network adapter. Right-click that connection, and click Properties.
3. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. Click the radio button Use the following IP address, then enter an IP address and Subnet mask. Assigning an IP address and Subnet mask allows stations to operate in access point mode (infrastructure mode) or in ad hoc mode and to have Internet access. Default gateway and DNS server information is also required.

   IP configuration information (DHCP to assign the IP address, gateway and DNS server IP addresses) is usually obtained from the corporate IT staff.

5. Click OK to finish.
