Chapter 1 – Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a
standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me,
MAC, Linux, etc. The product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for
configuration.
1.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router
either directly or through an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and
configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must
be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1
and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same
subnet, and have an IP address in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254). The best
and easiest way is to configure the PC to get an IP address automatically from the router
using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router’s web interface it may
also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewalls or virus scanners on your
PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 192.168.0.1 IP address of the router.
Users should make their own decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all,
please check your PC’s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet
network adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other
operating system manuals.
