Setting Up Your iConnect625W Router

The iConnect625W router can be configured with your Web Browser. A Web Browser is

included as a standard application in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS,

Windows 98 ME/2000/XP/Vista. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly

interface for configuration.

Computers must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the

router either directly or through an external repeater hub. It must also have TCP/IP

installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP

address that must be in the same subnet as the router.

The default IP address of the router is

192.168.1.254

and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0

(i.e. any attached computer must be in the same subnet, and have an IP

address in the range of

192.168.1.1

to

192.168.1.253

). The best and easiest way to

configure the computer is to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP.

If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may also be

advisable to disable any kind of software firewall on your computers, as they can cause

problems accessing the

192.168.1.254

IP address of the router. Users should make their

own decisions on how to best protect their network.

Please follow the steps provided in the following section to install and configure your

computer network environment. Before you begin, it is advisable to check your computer’s

network components to ensure that the TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network

adapter are installed. If they are not installed, please refer to your Windows or other

operating system manuals to install them.
