Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless Router using Quick Setup
within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless Router is required for the
first-time configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the Wireless 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 the web UI of the Wireless Router. In this section, we use all the
default values for description.
Whether the Wireless Router is configured via wired or wireless connection, the PC needs to be assigned an IP
address first. Before you connect the local PC to the Wireless Router via wired or wireless connection, please
configure the IP address for your PC in the following two ways first.
Obtaining an IP address automatically
Configuring the IP address manually
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows 7. And the
procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter is working, and refer
to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if needed.
4.1.1 Obtaining an IP Address Automatically
Summary:
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
2. Then the Wireless Router built-in DHCP server will assign IP address to the PC automatically.
If you are sure the DHCP server of Wireless Router is enabled (the default setting of Router Mode), you can set
up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. And then the Wireless
Router built-in DHCP server will assign an IP address to the PC automatically.
1. Installing TCP/IP Component
1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Control Panel, and then click it.
-12-

User Manual of WDRT-750AC
Figure 4-4 Obtain an IP Address Automatically
4.1.2 Configuring the IP Address Manually
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number from 2 to
254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The Router's default IP address)
If you are sure the DHCP server of Wireless Router is disabled (the default setting of AP Mode and Client Mode),
you can configure the IP address manually. The IP address of your PC should be 192.168.1.xxx (the same
subnet of the IP address of the Wireless Router, and "xxx" is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0, and the Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The default IP address of the Wireless Router)
1) Continue the settings from the last figure. Select Use the following IP address radio button.
2) If the LAN IP address of the Wireless Router is 192.168.1.1, enter IP address 192.168.1.x (x is from 2 to
254), and Subnet mask 255.255.255.0.
3) Enter the LAN IP address of the Wireless Router (the default IP is 192.168.1.1) into the default gateway
field.
4) Select Use the following DNS server addresses radio button. In the preferred DNS Server field, you can
-15-
User Manual of WDRT-750AC
enter the DNS server IP address provided by your local ISP. Then click OK to save your settings.
Figure 4-5
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 7 OS. Please follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start
2. Type “cmd” in the Search box.
Figure 4-6
-16-
User Manual of WDRT-750AC
3. Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to Figure 4-7, it means the connection between your PC and the
Router has been established well.
Figure 4-7 Success Result of Ping Command
If the result displayed is similar to Figure 4-8, it means the connection between your PC and the
Router has failed.
Figure 4-8 Failure Result of Ping Command
If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some
firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
