4.2 Se tting your NBG- 418N v2 to Route r Mode
The NBG-418N v2 is set to wireless router mode by default. If it was changed and now you want to set it
back, do the following procedure.
1 Connect your computer to the LAN port of the NBG-418N v2.
2 The default LAN IP address of the NBG-418N v2 is 192.168.1.1 in router mode and 192.168.1.2 by default in
non-router mode. In router mode, the NBG-418N v2 can assign your computer an IP address, so you
must set your computer to get an IP address automatically (computer factory default) or give it a fixed
IP address in the range between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254.
3 After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type the
IP address of the NBG-418N v2 as the web address in your web browser.
4 Log into the Web Configurator. See the
Chapter 2 on page 16 for instructions on how to do this.
