Connect your computer to the LAN port of the NBG-418N. 

The default LAN IP address of the NBG-418N is 192.168.1.1 in router mode (192.168.1.2 by default 
in non-router mode). In router mode, the NBG-418N can assign your computer an IP address, so

a fixed IP address in the range between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254.
