This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your 3G/4G Wireless N

Router using

Quick Setup

Wizard within minutes.

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the 3G/4G Wireless N 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 LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address

for your PC in the following two ways.

¾

Configure the IP address manually

1)

Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this,

please refer to

Appendix B: "Configuring the PC."

2)

Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is any number

from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The Router's

default IP address)

¾
