Step 3
Use TCPIP to access the Internet. This can be the default; adjust as needed. Use DHCP for most networks.

Step 4
Assign an IP address manually. Check your router manual to find out how to number your IP address. If the last 3 digits match those in the manual, you don’t have to do anything. If, however, the last 3 digits are different, change them to match those in the router manual.

Click “Apply Now” to apply the information. You are nearly finished setting up the Internet for the Mac. Next, troubleshoot your Mac computer.

Step 6
Check to see if your connection is correct. If it is not, check your IP address and re-enter it.
