Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your AIP-W411 150M Wireless
11N Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the AIP-W411 150M Wireless 11N Router is 192.168.1.1. 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.
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 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The
Router's default IP address).
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) 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.
2) 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 ping 192.168.1.1, 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.

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router is 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 LAN 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?
- 9 -
AIP-W411 150M Wireless 11N Router
Note:
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the AIP-W411 150M Wireless 11N
Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web
browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox or Apple Safari.
1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type in the default address
http://192.168.1.1 in the address field of the browser.
Figure 3-3 Log in the Router
After a moment, a login window will appear, similar to the Figure 3-4. Enter admin for the
User Name and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click the OK button or press the
Enter key.

is 1500 Bytes. It is not recommended that you change the default MTU Size unless required
by your ISP.
Use These DNS Servers - If your ISP gives you one or two DNS addresses, select Use
These DNS Servers and enter the primary and secondary addresses into the correct fields.
Otherwise, the DNS servers will be assigned dynamically from your ISP.
Note:
If you find error when you go to a website after entering the DNS addresses, it is likely that
your DNS servers are set up improperly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server
addresses.
Get IP with Unicast DHCP - A few ISPs' DHCP servers do not support the broadcast
applications. If you cannot get the IP Address normally, you can choose this option. (It is rarely
required.)
Click the Save button to save your settings.
2. If your ISP provides a static or fixed IP Address, Subnet Mask, Gateway and DNS setting,
select Static IP. The Static IP settings page will appear, shown in Figure 4-8.

User Name/Password - Enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. These
fields are case-sensitive.
Secondary Connection - It’s available only for PPPoE Connection. If your ISP provides an
extra Connection type such as Dynamic/Static IP to connect to a local area network, then you
can check the radio button of Dynamic/Static IP to activate this secondary connection.
Disabled - The Secondary Connection is disabled by default, so there is PPPoE
connection only. This is recommended.
Dynamic IP - You can check this radio button to use Dynamic IP as the secondary
connection to connect to the local area network provided by ISP.
Static IP - You can check this radio button to use Static IP as the secondary connection
to connect to the local area network provided by ISP.
Connect on Demand - In this mode, the Internet connection can be terminated automatically
after a specified inactivity period (Max Idle Time) and be re-established when you attempt to
access the Internet again. If you want your Internet connection keeps active all the time,
please enter “0” in the Max Idle Time field. Otherwise, enter the number of minutes you want
to have elapsed before your Internet access disconnects.
Connect Automatically - The connection can be re-established automatically when it was
down.

Time-based Connecting - The connection will only be established in the period from the start
time to the end time (both are in HH:MM format).
Note:
Only when you have configured the system time on “System Tools → Time” page, will the
Time-based Connecting function can take effect.
Connect Manually - You can click the Connect/Disconnect button to connect/disconnect
immediately. This mode also supports the Max Idle Time function as Connect on Demand
mode. The Internet connection can be disconnected automatically after a specified inactivity
period and re-established when you attempt to access the Internet again.
Click the Connect button to connect immediately. Click the Disconnect button to disconnect
immediately.
Caution: Sometimes the connection cannot be terminated although you specify a time to Max Idle
Time because some applications are visiting the Internet continually in the background.
