Double - click the icon for the Wireless Router (either on the Desktop, or in
My Network
Places
) to start the configuration. Refer to the following section
Setup Wizard
for details
of the initial configuration process.
Using your Web Browser
To establish a connection from your PC to the Wireless Router:
1.
After installing the Wireless Router in your LAN, start your PC. If your PC is already
running, restart it.
2.
Start your WEB browser.
3.
In the
Address
box, enter "HTTP://" and the IP Address of the Wireless Router, as in this
example, which uses the Wireless Router's default IP Address:
HTTP://192.168.1.254
Because the default password is blank, you will not be prompted for a password. However, you
should assign a password. See the
Password Setup
section later in this chapter for details.
If you can't connect
If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
•
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is
powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
•
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
•
Enter the command:
ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
•
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's
default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the
Network Mask
must be set to
255.255.255.0. See
Chapter 4 - PC Configuration
for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
•
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
•
Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can
only be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.
