3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
3.1 Hardware Installation
For those PCs you wish to access Internet by this router, each of them must be properly connected with the router through UTP Cables.
1. Connect your PCs LAN port to one of the router’s LAN port using UTP cable.
2. Connect existing Internet cable (such as ADSL or Modem) to router’s WAN port using another UTP cable.
3. Plug the Power Adapter into the router and then into an outlet.
4. Turn on your computer.
5. Check and confirm that the Power LED and LAN LED on the router are ON.
3.2 Check the Installation
The control LEDs of the WLAN Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly:
1. With the power source on, the Power, LAN and WAN LEDs of the WLAN Router will keep lighting blue for a few seconds, the CPU keeps flashing blue.
2. About 5 seconds later, only Power, Enabled wireless (2.4G/5G) and the connected LAN LEDs keep lighting, CPU keeps flashing. Other LED is off.
3.3 Set up the Computer
The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. Both of these parameters can be changed as you want. In this guide, we will use the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN port on the Router. There are then two ways to configure the IP address for your PC.
Configure the IP address manually
Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (“xxx” range from 2 to
254). The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (Router’s default IP
address).
Obtain an IP address automatically
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in Obtain an IP address automatically mode on your PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection between your PC and the Router. Open a command prompt, and type in ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in above figure, it means that the connection between your PC and the Router has been established.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the above figure, it means that your PC has not connected to the Router successfully. Please check it following below steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
If correct, the LAN port on the Router and LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Since 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, the Gateway must be 192.168.1.1.
