Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your WR1500N 150Mbps
Wireless N Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WR1500N 150Mbps 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.
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).
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.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between yo
ur 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 yo
ur PC
and the Router is failed.

WR1500N 150Mbps Wireless N Router
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?
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.
3.2 Quick Installation Guide
With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the WR1500N 150Mbps Wireless N
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://192.168.0.1
