Password, and Service Name (if required by your ISP).
3. Static IP Address (DSL or Cable)
The ISP provides the IP addressing information for you to enter manually. To configure the Router you
will need to know the following:
4. PPTP (DSL or Cable)
PPTP is only used by some European providers. If the installation instructions that accompany your
modem ask you to setup a dialup connection using a PPTP VPN tunnel then select this option. Note
that when you install the Router, you will not need to use the dialup VPN on your PC anymore. To
configure the Router you will need to know the following: Username, Password, Service Name (if
required by your ISP), and VPN Server address (usually your modem).
You will be asked for the IP Allocation Mode when you run the Setup Wizard.
4. RUNNING THE SETUP WIZARD
1. If you haven't already done so, restart your computer.
2. Launch your web browser and attempt to contact the Router by typing the following URL in the
location bar: http://192.168.1.1. If you can access the Login page, then your computer has correctly
received an IP address from the Router.
3. Login using the default password admin. The Wizard will attempt to launch automatically, but if it
fails, select the Wizard tab and click on the Wizard button.
4. Where possible, the Wizard will recommend settings for most parameters. However, there are some
settings which you must provide. Most of these will have been provided to you by your ISP when you
set the account up.

of 192.168.1.1. However, if you should choose to change it; make a note of the new address:
6. When the DHCP Server Settings page is displayed, make sure that the Enable the DHCP Server with
the following settings option is selected.
Connecting to the Internet
When the Wizard has completed, attempt to browse to an Internet web site, such as www.3com.com. If
you can successfully access this site, then your computer, Router and Cable/DSL modem have been
correctly configured. Refer to the Problem Solving section if you cannot make contact with the Router or
the Internet.
5. CONNECTING TO THE WIRELESS LAN
1. After you have configured the Router via the wired computer, you can connect to the Router via a
wireless computer.
The Router and wireless clients must have both the same SSID and the same encryption settings. All
wireless clients must use Infrastructure mode.
