4. IP Address Setting

If you lost the CD-ROM or you prefer the traditional web setup, please follow the procedures of chapter 4 and chapter 5 to configure the router. Using the router to

get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have Ethernet adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or through a hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed and the IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router.

The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.2.1 and the subnet mask is

255.255.255.0. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically

through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in the same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is enabled and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.200. It is strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address automatically.
