Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AC1750 Wireless Dual
Band Gigabit Router using
Quick Setup
Wizard
within minutes.
3.1
TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the router is
192.168.0.1
and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default values for
description.
Connect the local PC to the Ethernet ports of the router and then you can configure the IP address
for your PC by the following method: Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "
Obtain an IP address
automatically
" mode on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to
Appendix B: Configuring the PC
. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the
command prompt
to verify the network connection
between your PC and the router. The following example is in Windows XP OS.
Open a command prompt, and type
, and then press
Enter
.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the router has been established well.

If the result displayed is similar to Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC and
the router failed.
Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
Please check the connection following these steps:
1.
Is the connection between your PC and the router correct?
Note:
The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of Ethernet ports which you link to on the router and LEDs on your PC's adapter
should be lit.
2.
Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note:
If the router's IP address is 192.168.0.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254.
3.
Is the default LAN IP of the router correct?
Note:
If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.0.x, the default LAN IP of the
router will automatically switch from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1 to avoid IP conflict. Therefore, in
order to verify the network connection between your PC and the router, you can open a command
prompt, and type
ping 192.168.1.1
, and then press
Enter
.
