TCP/IP Configuration
To access the Internet through the Barricade
™
Plus Wireless Cable/DSL
Broadband Router, you must configure the network settings of the
computers on your LAN to use the same IP subnet as the Wireless
Barricade Plus. The default network settings for the Wireless Barricade
Plus are:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Note: These settings can be changed to fit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least one
computer as described in Chapter 5 to access the Wireless
Barricade Plus’ Web configuration interface. (See Chapter 4 for
information on configuring the Wireless Barricade Plus.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer,
refer to “Installing TCP/IP Protocol in Your PC” on page 5-1.
All PCs connected to the Wireless Barricade Plus must be set to the same
IP subnet as the Wireless Barricade Plus. The default subnet address of the
Wireless Barricade Plus is 192.168.2.X (where X means 2–254) and the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. You can set the IP address for client PCs
either by automatically obtaining an IP address from the Wireless
Barricade Plus’ DHCP service or by manual configuration. See “Setting
TCP/IP to Work with the Wireless Barricade Plus” on page 5-5.
