Installation
1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram below.
2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that they can obtain an IP address automatically. By default, the
Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically.
Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your
LAN. If there is another DHCP server on your network, then you’ll need to switch one of the DHCP servers off.
3) Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default IP address 192.168.2.1 (broadband
router’s IP address) into your PC’s web browser and press <enter> .
4) The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password” and then click <OK> to login.
Note: By default the user name is “admin” and the password is “1234”. For security reasons it is
recommended that you change the password in “General setup/system/password” as soon as possible.
