4. IP Address Setting
Using the router to get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have
Ethernet adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or
through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed
and the IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router.
The router’s default IP Address is
192.168.2.1
and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically
through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in the
same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is enabled
and will dispatch IP Address to PC from
192.168.2.100
to
192.168.2.200
. It is
strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically.

address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating
