LAN Connection Example

To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be

connected to the LAN port (connected directly or through an external hub/switch to the LAN

port of the device). The configuration can also be performed on a wireless client station (as

Network 2 on Connection Figure 2).

On Ethernet Client

To access the Broadband Home Router via the Ethernet interface, the host computer must

install TCP/IP protocol:

Step 1 Choose a client PC and set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the

gateway as 192.168.0.1 to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router,

whose default IP address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 2 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

Step 3 Select the connection type (Bridge, Obtain an IP address automatically, PPPoE or

Specify an IP address) which gets the WAN IP address and dials up to the ISP. You

should choose the type according to the device that the WAN port connects to.

When the connection is established the client PCs can access the Internet or the LAN.

Note

1. The Broadband Home Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.0.1

and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. As the DHCP server is Enabled by default, the

Broadband Home Router can assign an IP address to the host PC for initial

configuration. That means, if the host PC sets its TCP/IP to obtain an IP address

automatically, this DHCP client should be able to get an IP address and access the

Broadband Home Router.

2. If you select ‘Bridge’ as the WAN connection type, the Broadband Home Router will

act as a two-port Ethernet bridge device .

On Wireless Client

Step 1 Install the wireless card driver and configure the SSID setting on the client

computer to the default SSID: IEEE802.11 LAN.

Step 2 Check that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your wireless client PC. (Refer to

“TCP/IP Configuration” section.)

Step 3 Set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the gateway as 192.168.0.1

to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router, whose default IP

address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 4 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

Step 5 If necessary, you could change the SSID from the web page: Advanced>wireless

(refer to Wireless Setting section).
