Chapter 3 Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your iB-WRX150NE 150M
Extreme Wireless-N Router using Quick Configuration Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the iB-WRX150NE 150M Extreme Wireless-N Router is 192.168.1.1
and the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as per the
requirement. In this guide, we use all the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. The IP address for your PC can be
configured in the following two ways.
Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as how to configure,
please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the PC".
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is any number
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (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.
If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to Appendix B: "Configuring the
PC”.
2) Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection
between your PC and the Router. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, and then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has been established well.

Figure 3-1 Success result of Ping command
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-2, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router is failed.
Figure 3-2 Failure result of Ping command
Please check the connection following these steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
Note:
The 1/2/3/4 LEDs of LAN ports which you link on the Router and LEDs on your PC's adapter
should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note:
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP address must be within the range of
192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254.
