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. 

 

1. Connect the Router to a LAN (Local Area Network) and the SHDSL/telephone network. 

2. Power on the device. 

3. Make sure the PWR and SYS LEDs are lit steadily and that the relevant LAN LED is lit.
