Configuring Your PC’s IP Address
Before you start to access the router using the Ethernet connection, you must
configure your PC to use DHCP, or change your PC's TCP/IP address to be
192.168.1.x, where x is any number between 2 and 254, with a subnet mask of
255.255.255.0.
Your router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1.
Assigning an IP Address to your PC Automatically by DHCP
To use the router's DHCP feature, click in the radio button labeled “Obtain an IP
address automatically” instead of “Use the following IP address” in the following
procedures.
By default, the LAN port IP address of the router is 192.168.1.1. (You can change
this address, or another address can be assigned by your ISP.)
Windows XP

Procedure
