PURE NETWORKING BROADBAND ROUTER QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

1. Getting Started

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for how to use the Pure Networking
Broadband Router and connect to the Internet.

1. Set up your network as shown in Figure 1-1.

Figure 1-1. Typical LAN setup.

2. Set your LAN PC automatically. By default, the Broadband Router’s DHCP
server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically.

NOTE

Make sure that the Pure Networking Broadband Router’s DHCP server is
the only DHCP server available on your LAN. If there is another DHCP
server on your network, then you’ll need to switch one of the DHCP
servers off.

3. Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default
IP address 192.168.2.1 (the router’s IP address) into your PC’s Web
browser and press Enter. See Figure 1-2.
