Step 4-1. For getting IP automatically if you are one of the users under 11N Mini 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.
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 Mini Broadband Router
should be noted:
yIPAddress: 192.168.1.10 (as your Print Server for example)
ySubnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

Version 1.0.15
15
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 Mini Broadband Router in Router
Mode)
zDNS: 192.168.1.1 (use 11N Mini Broadband Router ’s IP address or on your own choice)
Note: IP address and Default gateway cannot be the same.
1.5.1 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”.
1.5.2 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.

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.

Version 1.0.15
17
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.
If it can’t work, it will show Request timed out.
