Chapter 3 Initial Configuration
The router can be configured through your web browser that including IE 8.0 or above, Chrome and
Firefox, etc. A web browser is included as a standard application in the following operating systems:
Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me/Vista/7/8/10, etc. It provides an easy and user-
friendly interface for configuration. There are various ways to connect the router, either through an
external repeater/hub or connect directly to your PC. However, make sure that your PC has an
Ethernet interface properly installed prior to connecting the router. You must configure your PC to
obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet
as the router. If you encounter any problems accessing the router web interface, it is advisable to
uninstall or disable your firewall program on your PC, as this can prevent access to the IP address of
the router.

from “Local Area Connection”, and another is to configure a static IP address manually within the
same subnet of the router. Please refer to the steps below.
