Chapter 4: Quick Installation Guide
After connecting the RW400SG Router into your network, you should configure it. This
chapter describes how to configure the basic functions of your RW400SG Wireless
Router. These procedures only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via
the router immediately after successfully configured.
4.1 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of the RW400SG 108Mbps Wireless Router is 192.168.1.1, and
the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN.
They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for
description in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to
configure the IP address for your PCs.
¾ Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to
do this, please refer to
Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1
(The router's default IP address)
¾ Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on
your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to
Appendix B: "Configuring the PCs."
2) Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and restart the PC(s).
The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network
connection between your PC(s) and the router. The following example is in Windows
2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.
