2. PC Configuration
To communicate and configure 802.11n AP router, the PC on your LAN must install TCP/IP
protocol. Make sure the TCP/IP protocol of the PC is configured for Obtain IP address from
D CP and is connected to LAN (Ethernet) port of the AP router. In doing so, the PC obtains
an IP address of 192.168.1.1 from 802.11n AP router.
The 802.11n AP router assumes an IP address of 192.168.1.1 without network connectivity.
This IP address is used for communicating with the 802.11n AP router via the web UI or
Telnet, with the PC connected to the LAN port.
The 802.11n AP router assumes a D CP IP address on the WAN side if connected to the
network. In this case user can communicate with the same IP address 192.168.1.1 with PC
connected to the LAN port. PC in the network can communicate with the D CP IP address
allocated to 802.11n router.

2.2 Connect to another Router
If you are connecting the wireless 11n 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 UPnP  Disable  D CP  Change the LAN IP address to an available
address on your network. The LAN ports on the router cannot accept a D CP address from
your other router.
To connect to another router, please follow the steps below:
a) Plug the power adapter into the wireless 11n router. Connect one of your computers to the
router (LAN port) using RJ-45 Ethernet cable. Make sure your IP address, for example, your
computer original IP address is 192.168.10.48 and now your need to change computer IP as

19
192.168.1.XXX (where XXX is between 2 ~ 254). Please see the Network Settings section
for more information. 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.
b) Open a Web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 and press Enter. When the login
window appears, set the default user name to admin and password to 1234.
c) Chick Network Settings and then click UPnP. Unclick the “UPnP Internet Gate Device”
checkbox. Click “Submit” to continue.
d) Chick Network Settings and then click DHCP. Unclick the “DHCP Server” checkbox. Click
“Submit” to continue.
e) Under Network Settings, enter an available LAN IP address and Subnet Mask of your
network. Unclick the “DNS Proxy” checkbox. Click “Submit” to save your settings. Use this
new IP (this new IP will be same subnet mask, for example: 192.168.10.XXX, to this case, we
set the new IP to 192.168.10.49) to access the 11n router configuration utility in the future and
other client can also use this 11n router to access this network.
f) Close the browser and change your computer’s IP settings back to the original values as in
Step a (192.168.10.48). Disconnect the RJ-45 Ethernet cable from the router and reconnect
your computer to your network.
g) Connect another RJ-45 Ethernet cable in one of the wireless 11n router LAN port and
connect it to your other router’s LAN port.

20
h) You may now use the other 3 LAN ports to connect other Ethernet devices and computers.
To configure your wireless network, open a web browser and enter the IP address you
assigned to the router.
i) To check if the connection has been setup
completely: go to Start  Control Panel 
Network and Sharing Center  Select
“Connect to a network” on the right panel
section.
j) Connect to the wireless 11n router (which
you assigned from step a~h) and click
“Connect” to establish the connection.
K) After successfully set the network settings, your wireless 11n router became a wireless
access point and/or switch to connect another router.
