2. Select “Scan”, then select a network from the list of scanned wireless networks.

For details, refer to the instruction manuals provided by your Internet service provider, or those supplied with the router.

1. Select “Auto” to set the IP Address and proxy server automatically, or “Custom” to set them manually.
