Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless Router:
1.
After installing the Wireless Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already
running, please restart it.
2. Start your Web Browser.
3. In the Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless Router, as in this
example, which uses the Wireless Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.1.254
Simply enter the username " admin " and password “ admin ”. However, you can assign and
changed username and set the password for future security in the Password Setup section. See
the
Password Setup section later in this chapter for details.
If you can't connect...
If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
•
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is
powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
•
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
•
Enter the command:
ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
•
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's de-
fault IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the
Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
•
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network seg-
ment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
•
Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only
be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.
