Basic Installation

The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application
in the following operating systems: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 8 / 7 / 98 / NT / 2000 / XP / Me / Vista, etc. The
product provides an easy and user-friendly interface for configuration.
Please check your PC network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be
installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
There are ways to connect the router, either through an external repeater hub or connect directly to your PCs.
However, make sure that your PCs have an Ethernet interface installed properly prior to connecting the router
device. You ought to configure your PCs to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address
that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.1.254 and the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the
range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253).
The best and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP.
If you encounter any problem accessing the router web interface it is advisable to uninstall your firewall
program on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the IP address of the router. Users should make
their own decisions on what is best to protect their network.
Please follow the following steps to configure your PC network environment.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through this router. To configure other
types of workstations, please consult your manufacturer documentation.
