Chapter 3: Basic 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, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an
easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly
or through an external repeater hub, and 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 r
outer using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may
also be advisable to
uninstall
any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as 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.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the router. To configure other types of workstations, please
consult the manufacturer’s documentation.
