After connecting the 11N Wireless Router into your network, you should configure it. This chapter
describes how to configure the basic functions of your 11N Wireless Router. These procedures
only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via the router immediately after successfully
configured.
3.1 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of the Wireless Router is 192.168.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN. They can be changed as you desire, as an
example we use the default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports on the router. There are then two means to configure the IP
address for your PC.
Configure the IP address manually
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s).
2. Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to 254),
Subnet Maskis 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1(The router's default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically

1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically"mode on your PC(s)
2. Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and restart the PC(s). The built-in
DHCP server will assign IP addresses for the PC(s).
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC(s) and the router.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the top of figure, the connection between your PC
and the router has been established.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the top of figure, it means that your PC has not
connected to the router. Please check it following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the router correct?
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
N
No ot ti ic ce e: :If the router's IP address is 192.168.0.1, your PC's IP address must be within
the range of 192.168.0.2 ~ 192.168.0.254, the gateway must be 192.168.0.1
