Setting Up Your iConnect625W Router
The iConnect625W router can be configured with your Web Browser. A Web Browser is
included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS,
Windows 98 ME/2000/XP/Vista. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly
interface for configuration.
Computers must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the
router either directly or through an external repeater hub. It must 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 computer 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 to
configure the computer is to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP.
If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be
advisable to disable any kind of software firewall on your computers, 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 provided in the following section to install and configure your
computer network environment. Before you begin, it is advisable to check your computer’s
network components to ensure that the TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network
adapter are installed. If they are not installed, please refer to your Windows or other
operating system manuals to install them.
