Setup & Configuration
1. Client’s Computer Setup
The computers on your LAN need to be set up to cooperate with MZK-W04NU Wireless Router.
Please make sure that your operating system already enabled your interface card on the host and con-
nected to one of the LAN ports on MZK-W04NU through Cat.5 cable. Be sure that LEDs on MZK-
W04NU are already on and the LED corresponds with the port which you connected. If you switch on
MZK-W04NU for the first time, owing to the default status, it will automatically enable the embedded
DHCP server and start to distribute IP to your host. In addition, the default IP address of MZK-W04NU is
“192.168.1.1.” (Note: if the AP/Router switch has been switched to AP mode, MZK-W04NU’s IP
address will be 192.168.1.250.) If your operating system is Windows 98/2000/XP, you may be able to
use command of “ipconfig” to inquire whether you have the correct IP address or not. If you are using
Linux/Unix-Like system, you can use “ifconfig” to check your NIC (Network Interface Card) address.
