2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
2. Decide where to place your Wireless Broadband Router
You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk or other flat surface, or you can mount it on a wall.
For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband Router in the center of your office (or your home)
in a location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven.
This location must be close to power and network connection.
2. Setup LAN connection
a. Wired LAN connection: connects an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of the
LAN ports of this product.
b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this product at a proper position to gain the best transmit performance.
Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN and WAN connections for this product.
3. Setup WAN connection
Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting this product to your cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone.
Figure 2-3 illustrates the WAN connection.
4. Power on
Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this product will automatically

To use this product correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers and install
the attached setup program into your MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/NT/2000).
3.1 Make Correct Network Settings of Your Computer
The default IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
addresses can be changed on your need, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP
environment of your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For
example,
1. configure IP as 192.168.1.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.254, or more
easier,
2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server of this product.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer
has successfully connected to this product. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95
platforms. First, execute the ping command
ping 192.168.1.254
If the following messages appear:
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.254: bytes=32 time=2ms TTL=64
a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. Otherwise, if
you get the following messages,
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
There must be something wrong in your installation procedure. You have to check the following items in
sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?
Tip: The LAN LED of this product and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted.
2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, the IP address of your computer must be
192.168.1.X and default gateway must be 192.168.1.254.
