Connecting the RF-HTN104 to Another Router
If you are connecting the RocketFish router to another router to use as a wireless access point and/or switch, you will have to do the following before connecting the router
to your network:
• Disable DHCP (refer to the section of this manual called DHCP Server to learn more)
• Change the LAN IP address to an available address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a DHCP address from your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
1. Plug the power into the router and use the power switch to power up the router. Connect one of your computers to the router (LAN port) using an Ethernet cable. Make
sure your IP address on the computer is 192.168.1.xxx (where xxx is between 2 and 254). If you need to change the settings, write down your existing settings before
making any changes. In most cases, your computer should be set to receive an IP address automatically in which case you will not have to do anything to your computer.
2. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter. When
the login window appears, set the user name to admin and leave the password
box empty. Click
to continue.
3.
Click the
icon from the animated menu at the bottom of the web-
configuration utility.
Select DHCP Server from the menu on the left. Uncheck
the Enable DHCP Server checkbox as in the screenshot on this page. Click
to continue.
5. Select IP Address from the menu on the left, enter an available IP address
and the subnet mask of your network. Click
to save your settings. Use this
new IP address to access the configuration utility of the router in the future.
Close the browser and change your computer's IP settings back to the original
values as in Step 1.
