Chapter 3: 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: Linux, Mac OS, Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Me, etc. The 
product provides a very easy and user-friendly interface for 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 192.168.1.254 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 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). 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 firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems accessing the 
192.168.1.254 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. 
 
 
 
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through
the router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the
manufacturer’s documentation.
