login and you can configure the router directly.
1.3 Login to Eweb
1.3.1 Connecting to the Router
You can open the management page and complete Internet access configuration only after connecting a client to
the router in either of the following ways:
Wired Connection
Connect a local area network (LAN) port of the router to the network port of the PC, and set the IP address of the
PC. See Section 1.3.2 Configuring the IPAddress of the Management Client for details.
Wireless Connection
Connect the LAN port to the uplink port on theAP and power on the AP. On a mobile phone or laptop, search for
wireless network @Ruijie-mXXXX (XXXX is the last four digits of the MAC address of each device). In this mode,
you do not need to set the IP address of the management client, and you can skip the operation in Section 1.3.2
Configuring the IPAddress of the Management Client.
1.3.2 Configuring the IP Address of the Management Client
Configure an IP address for the management client in the same network segment as the default IP address of the
device (The default device IP address is 192.168.110.1, and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.) so that the

Web-based Configuration Guide 1 Login

management client can access the device. For example, set the IP address of the management client to
192.168.110.200.
1.3.3 Login
Enter the IP address (192.168.110.1 by default) of the router in the address bar of the browser to open the login
page.
Note
If the static IP address of the device is changed, or the device obtains a new dynamic IP address, the new IP
address can be used to access the web management system of the device as long as the management client
and the device are in the same network segment of a LAN.
(1) On the web page, enter the password and click Log In to enter the web management system.
Username and password are not required at your first login and you can configure the router directly.
For device security, you are advised to set the management password after your first login to the web
management system. After the password is set, you need to enter the password when you log in to the web
management system again.
If you forget the IP address or password, hold down the Reset button on the device panel for more than 5
seconds when the device is connected to the power supply to restore factory settings. After restoration, you
can use the default IP address and password to log in.
Caution
Restoring factory settings will delete the existing configuration and you are required to configure the device
again at your next login. Therefore, exercise caution when performing this operation.

1.4 Work Mode
The device can work in router mode and AC mode. The system menu pages and configuration function scope
vary depending on the work mode. By default, the EG router works in router mode. To modify the work mode, see
Section 3.1 Switching the Work Mode.
1.4.1 Router Mode
The device supports routing functions such as route-based forwarding and network address translation (NAT),
VPN, and behavior management. It can allocate addresses to downlink devices, forward network data based on
routes, and perform NAT operations.
In the router mode, the device can access the network through Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)
dialing, dynamic IP address, and static IP address. It can also directly connect to a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH)
network cable or an uplink device to provide network access and manage downlink devices.
1.4.2 AC Mode
The device supports Layer 2 forwarding only. The device does not provide the routing and Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server functions. By default, the WAN port obtains IP addresses through DHCP.
TheAC mode is applicable to the scenario where the network is working normally. In AC mode, the device serves
as the management controller to access the network in bypass mode and manage the AP.
1.5 Configuration Wizard (Router Mode)
1.5.1 Getting Started
(1) Power on the device. Connect the WAN port of the device to an uplink device using an Ethernet cable, or
connect the device to the optical modem directly.
(2) Configure the Internet connection type according to requirements of the local Internet Service Provider (ISP).
Otherwise, the Internet access may fail due to improper configuration. You are advised to contact your local
ISP to confirm the Internet connection type:
○Figure out whether the Internet connection type is PPPoE, DHCP mode, or static IP address mode.
○In the PPPoE mode, a username, a password, and possibly a service name are needed.
○In the static IP address mode, an IP address, a subnet mask, a gateway, and a DNS server need to be
configured.
1.5.2 Configuration Steps
1. Adding a Device to Network
You can manage and configure all devices in the network in batches by default. Please verify the device count
and network status before configuration.
