WRT750A AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the 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 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 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 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?

- 9 -

WRT750A AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router

 Note:

The Ethernet LED 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 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of

192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.

3. Is the default LAN IP of the router correct?



If the LAN IP of the modem connected with your router is 192.168.1.x, the default LAN IP of the

router will automatically switch from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.0.1 to avoid IP conflict.

3.2 Quick Installation Guide

With a Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the AC750 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit

Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or UNIX OS with a Web

Note:

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 IP address

http:/192.168.1.1 in the address field.
