Connecting to the Internet
Before you proceed
Before proceeding, you need to:
• Ensure the cable connections are correct and WL-AM604g is powered ON; and
• Acquire an active Internet service, such as an ADSL account.
We recommend using wired connection for initial configuration, which may
help avoid possible setup problems due to wireless uncertainty. Use a
CAT5 cable to connect an Ethernet-enabled computer to a LAN port of WL-
AM604g.
Preparing your WAN
Based on the requirements of your Internet Service Provider (ISP), ensure that you
have the following information for setting up the Internet connection on your WL-
AM604g:
• Virtual Path Identifier (VPI)
• Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI)
• Host name
• Domain name
• ISP login user name and password
• ISP Domain Name System (DNS) server address
• Static IP address
Preparing your LAN
To use WL-AM604g on your network, you need to install a network interface card (NIC) or an
IEEE802.11b/g wireless network card to your computer.
LAN configuration requirement
For the initial configuration, we recommend that you connect a computer to one of
the LAN port of WL-AM604g and configure the TCP/IP settings of your computer. The
default IP settings of WL-AM604g are:
IP address: 192.168.1.1
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP server: enabled
To access WL-AM604g, you must set your computer in the same subnet with the ADSL
router. You can set the computer to accept a dynamic IP address assigned by the
DHCP server of WL-AM604g, or manually set up an IP address for your computer.
