4 Configuring the Router
Before you configure this device, note that when the Broadband Router is configured
through an Ethernet connection, make sure the host PC must be set on the IP
subnetwork that can be accessed by the Broadband Router. For example, when the
default network address of the Broadband Router Ethernet interface is 192.168.10.x,
then the host PC should be set at 192.168.10.xxx (where xxx is a number between 2
and 254), and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
1. Open an Internet Explorer (or other web browser), type “192.168.10.1” in the
address bar, and then press “Enter”.
