IP Address Setting
To use the router to access the Internet, the PCs in the network must have an
Ethernet adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or
through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC must be 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.
This section shows you how to configure your PC so that it can obtain an IP
address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating
systems. For other operating systems (Macintosh, Sun, etc.), please follow the
manual of the operating system. The following is a step-by-step illustration of
how to configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically for
Windows 8,
Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.
