Chapter 3 Quick Installation Guide

This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your RNX-N300RT using

Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.

3.1 TCP/IP Configuration

The default IP address of the RNX-N300RT 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 in the following two ways.

¾ Configure the IP address manually

1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do

this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC".

2) Configure the network parameters. The default 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)

¾ Obtain an IP address automatically

1) 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”.

2) 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 2000

OS.

Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.

¾ 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.

300M Wireless N Router RNX-N300RT User Manual

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command

¾ If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-2, it means the connection between

your PC and the Router is failed.

Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
