Chapter 3: Basic Installation
The 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/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The
product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter
must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
There are ways to connect with the router, either through an external repeater hub to the router or
directly connecting with PCs. However, to be sure PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly
prior to connecting to the router device.
You ought to configure your PCs 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
192.168.0.254
and the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
(i.e. any attached PC
must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range of
192.168.0.1
to
192.168.0.253
). The
best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using
DHCP. If you encounter any problem accessing the router’s web interface it may also be advisable to
uninstall
any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the
192.168.0.254
IP address of the router. Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect
their network.
