Chapter 3 Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included
as a standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/Me/NT
/2000/XP, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for
configuration.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the
router either directly or through an external repeater hub. PCs also have TCP/IP
installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a
fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP
address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e.
any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the
range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure
the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you
encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface, it may be
advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs. They can cause
problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should
make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation.
First of all, please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol
stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your
Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
