Configuring Your Computer
Prior to accessing the modem through the LAN or the USB port, note the following necessary
configurations—
•
Your PC’s TCP/IP address:
192.168.1.__
( the last number is any number between 2 and
254)
•
The modem’s default IP address:
192.168.1.1
•
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Below are the procedures for configuring your computer. Follow the instructions for the operating
system that you are using.
If you used the Ethernet cable to connect your router and PC, you do not need any specific driver
installation and you can skip Windows USB Driver Installation, below. If you used the USB cable
on a PC running a Windows operation system, install the provided USB driver. Windows 95 and
Windows NT 4.0 do not support USB without additional software (not included with your router). If
USB driver installation fails under those operating systems, contact your service provider.
