Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router User’s Manual

Configuring Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router in Pre-existing IP Networks

The Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router is easily added to an existing network that already has IP addresses assigned. The following assumes that you have configured TCP/IP for your network (and on each computer) and are now adding the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router for Internet access. We also assume that you will not be using the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router DHCP server to dynamically allocate and assign addresses (since you’ve already assigned IP addresses to each computer).

The following steps use an example pre-existing network of computers with IP addresses 204.1.1.1 through

204.1.1.154 (IP addresses of Class C, without any IP sub-networks). Please follow the steps listed below to use your existing IP addresses with the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router.

1. From your range of available IP addresses, select a single IP address to be used as the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router’s address (such as

204.1.1.100).

2. Select one computer (we strongly recommend Windows 95/98/Me or Windows NT/2000) to configure the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router.

Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router User’s Manual

Open the Network properties dialog box of the computer, and write down its current IP settings, including IP address and DNS Server IP address (provided by your ISP).

Next, check (tick) the Specify an IP Address option in the TCP/IP properties dialog box and enter

192.168.1.2 for the IP address and 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask. Finally, enter 192.168.1.1 for the gateway IP address. You must then restart your computer to update the new TCP/IP settings.

3. On the same computer, open your web browser.

4. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) in the Location box and press Enter. The device’s Home Page will then appear.

5. It then shows an authentication dialog for the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router. Type the default administration user name, admin, and type the default configuration password 0000. Then click OK, as shown in following figure.

Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router User’s Manual

6. Click Administrator Setup in the left-hand column. It then enters the sub-menu.

7. Click LAN Setting in the right-hand column. The LAN TCP/IP configuration page appears.

Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router User’s Manual

8. In the TCP/IP Settings, enter the IP address you selected in Step 1 (such as 204.1.1.100) in the LAN IP Address field.

9. Enter the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 in the Subnet Mask field.

10. Enter the IP address you selected in Step 1 (such as 204.1.1.100) in the Default Gateway field.

11. Click the Save button.

12. Click Apply in the left-hand column for the new settings to take effect.

13. Close your browser.

14. Now open the Network properties dialog box of the computer again and select TCP/IP protocol.

15. Change the computer’s IP address, subnet mask, and DNS Server IP address (provided by your ISP) back to their original settings.

16. Next, enter the IP address of the Broadband DSL/Cable Wireless Router as the computer’s gateway IP address (see Step 1).

17. Finally, restart the computer for new TCP/IP settings to take effect.
