3   Network Configuration and Introduction to 

Network Connection Modes 

Web management tool allows you to configure BR-6224N. The recommended 

browser is Internet Explorer 5.0 version or above. 

The following sections describe how to set the Internet connection, local Ethernet 

connection, and wireless connection, and how to access the Web page of the 

BR-6224N. 

3.1   TCP/IP Settings 

By default, the IP address of LAN interface of the BR-6224N is 192.168.1.1.The 

subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. The DHCP Server is enabled. 

It is recommended you set the network adapter to be 

Obtain an IP address 

automatically

. Your PC automatically acquires IP address, subnet mask, gateway, 

and DNS address via the BR-6224N. If you know the setting of the current LAN 

interface, you can manually set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter, so that 

your PC can communicate with the BR-6224N. 

You may manually set the network adapter by following the steps below: 

Step1 

Right click the icon of

 My Network Places
