talk with the router.
2.2 Computer Configuration.
2.2.1 System Requiremet
When you setup the SOLARspeed 3G router, you need a computer with a network LAN port which sup-
ports TCP/IP protocol and a WEB browser e.g Microsoft Internet Explorer.
2.2.2 Network Configuration.
After connecting the SOLARspeed 3G router to your LAN, you need set your computer IP address and
other parameters to match the router.

Double click “Local Area Connection”, then popup a dialog box, select “Properties”, then select “Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP)”, click “Properties (R)”, see the following figure:
Figure 2.4 Local Area Connection properties configure
 We can choose two setting-up type in the interface "Internet protocol (TCP/IP) Properties”.
 Select “obtain an IP address automatically” and “obtain DNS server address automatically”, see the fol-
lowing figure:

Click the “OK” button, the local computer will request assigning IP address and DNS automatically.
Note: The router default to enable DHCP server, it will assign an IP address to the computer of the local area network
automatically.
Set up fixed IP address, select “Use the following IP address” and “Use the following DNS server address”,
then fill in the following parameter.
• IP address: 192.168.0.x (x is a integer between 100-200)
• Subnet mask code :255.255.255.0
• Tacit gateway: 192.168.0.1
• DNS Server: You can fill in your local DNS server address provided by your ISP, or you can take the
router as DNS proxy server.

Click the “OK” button.
The above settings is submitted, then the interface turn to “Local Area Connection Properties”, Click the
“OK” button to save the above settings.
Tip: If you are not sure of the DNS server address, we recommend you to select “Obtain an IP address automatically (O)”
and “Obtain a DNS server address automatically”.
Note：The following is the factory default setting parameter of 3G Wireless-N Router LAN port:
IP address：192.168.0.1

2.2.3 Test of the network connection.
The first step：Checking the IP configuration.
After setting up TCP/IP, you can use the order “ipconfig” to check if the IP is assigned.
Click “Start”→“Run”→Input “cmd”, then input the order “ipconfig” and hit “enter” key.
Make sure that the user’s network configuration conforms to the following three requirements:
IP address must be between: 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200
1. Subnet mask code is 255.255.255.0
2. Default gateway is 192.168.0.1
For example, the right configuration information of system feedback is the following information:
Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection:
Connection-specificDNSSuffix:
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.100
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.0.1
The second step: Test of connectivity.
After finish computer configuration, you use the command “Ping” to check the connected situation be-
tween the computer and the router.
Click “Begin”→“Run”, then input command line “CMD”, then input the command “Ping
192.168.0.1”,and hit “Enter”. If the screen output the following information, it means the normal con-
nection has established from computer to the router.
Pinging 192.168.0.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.0.1: bytes=32 time<1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.0.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milliseconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 1ms, Average = 0ms

This information show the equipment is not ready, You can check it according to the following sequence:
1．Hardware connection: The both LAN port LED indicator on the router’s rear panel and the one on the
computer network card are bright.
2．Computer TCP/IP attribute configuration: If the router LAN IP address is 192.168.0.1 , the computer IP
address should be one address value range from 192.168.0.100 to 192.168.0.200.
