within minutes.

3.1

TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the router is

192.168.0.1

and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.

These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for

description.

Connect the local PC to the Ethernet ports of the router and then you can configure the IP address

for your PC by the following method: Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "

Obtain an IP address

automatically

" mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to

Appendix B: Configuring the PC

. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the

command prompt

to verify the network connection

between your PC and the router. The following example is in Windows XP OS.

Open a command prompt, and type

ping 192.168.0.1

, and then press

Enter

.



If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC

and the router has been established well.

192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254.

3.

Is the default LAN IP of the router correct?



Note:

If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.0.x, the default LAN IP of the

router will automatically switch from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 to avoid IP conflict. Therefore, in

order to verify the network connection between your PC and the router, you can open a command

prompt, and type

ping 192.168.1.1

, and then press

Enter
