3 Getting Started
In the previous chapter, we have made a network hardware connection setup between Internet Access,
Computer and PRN3009 Router through wireless and LAN cable. In this chapter, it guides user on how
to check TCP/IP setup before getting started, how to logging into the PRN3009 Desktop and Mobile
Web User Interface configuration and guide on using Setup Wizard.
3.1 TCP/IP Setup
By default, the PRN3009 IP address is 192.168.123.254 and Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. You are
allowed to change the setting base your network architecture. To change the PRN3009 network setting,
refer to the Network LAN Setting in LAN Setting.
Ensure your TCP/IP Protocol is set to “Obtain an IP address automatically” for Windows OS or “Using
DHCP” for MAC OS. PRN3009 assigns the IPAddress to the connected Computer.
