¾Auto-detection mode only applies on PPPoE, DHCP, PPTP and L2TP.
¾Router will detect WAN type and load the settings from last time or display
corresponding page for user to input information.
¾If there is no setting from user, the router will load the default settings.
If there is no setting from user, it will detect ISP and load corresponding settings.
1.6 Get Your IP Automatically & Manually
After 11N Broadband router connected with your computer, please make sure your IP is in the
automatic IP position or you adjust it manually in order to activate the Internet network from
home to Internet. If you don’t know how to enter the settings, please follow the steps as
below.
Step 1. Go to Start>Settings>Network Connections and then select Local Area
Connection.
Step 2. Click on Properties

14
Step 3. Double click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
Step 4-1. For getting IP automatically if you are one of the users under 11N Broadband router,
please skip Use the following IP address and then select Obtain an IP address
automatically and Obtain DNS server address automatically and then click on OK button.

15
Step 4-2. For getting IP manually in order to specify a Virtual Server, such as Print Server,
FTP Server and so on, please skip Obtain an IP address automatically and then select Use
the following IP address. And the following default setting of 11N Broadband router should
be noted:
yIPAddress: 192.168.1.10 (as your Print Server for example)
ySubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
yDefault Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Note: If you configure your computer’s IPAddress manually, it needs to be on the same network segment.
For example:
zIPAddress: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx can be any number between 2 and 253, but it can’t be
repeated, we use 100 to be the example.)
zSubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
zGateway: 192.168.1.1 (this is the IP address of 11N Broadband router in Router Mode)
zDNS: 192.168.1.1 (use 11N Broadband router’s IP address or on your own choice)
Note: IP address and Default gateway cannot be the same.

16
1.6.1 Network Testing
There are two ways to test your Network whether it can work on Internet or not. They are
“Testing with Internet Browser” and “Testing with Dos”.
1.6.2 Testing with Internet Browser
Open an Internet Browser, such as Internet Explore or Netscape. Input a valid web address
you like, for example, http://www.yahoo.com in the web address blank and then press
enter. If the website appears, that means your Internet is working under normal situation.
1.6.2.1 Testing with DOS (Windows XP Platform)
Step 1. Go to start -> Run.

17
Step 2. Input cmd in the blank, and then click OK button. The Command Prompt window
appears.
Step 3. Input ipconfig in the flashing area then press enter. You will get an IP Address
192.168.1.100, for example, and Default Gateway as 192.168.1.1.
Step 4. Ping a legal WAN Address such as 192.168.1.1. If Internet works, it will show Reply
from 192.168.1.1: bytes = 32 time = 3ms TTL =64, for example.

18
If it can’t work, it will show Request timed out.
