Chapter 3.  Quick Installation Guide 
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your TL-WR841ND 300Mbps 
Wireless N Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes. 
3.1  TCP/IP Configuration 
The default domain name of the TL-WR841ND 300Mbps Wireless N Router is 
, the default IP address is 192.168.0.1, and the default Subnet Mask is 
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default 
values for description. 
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the router. And then you can configure the IP address for 
your PC in the following two ways. 
¾
 
Configure the IP address manually 
1)  Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, 
please refer to 
2)  Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.0.xxx ("xxx" is any number 
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.0.1 (The router's 
default IP address) 
¾
 
Obtain an IP address automatically 
1)  Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC. 
If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to 
2)  Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC. 
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network connection 
between your PC and the router. The following example is in Windows XP. 
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter
¾
  If the result displayed is similar to the 
 3-1, it means the connection between your PC 
and the router has been established well.
