3. HARDWARE INSTALLATION

3.1 Hardware Installation

For those PCs you wish to access Internet by this router, each of them must be properly

connected with the router through UTP Cables.

1. Connect your PC’s LAN port to one of the router’s LAN port using UTP cable.

2. Connect existing Internet cable (such as ADSL or Modem) to router’s WAN port using

another UTP cable.

3. Plug the PowerAdapter into the router and then into an outlet.

4. Turn on your computer.

5. Check and confirm that the Power LED and LAN LED on the router are ON.

3.2 Check the Installation

The control LEDs of the WLAN Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link

can be seen instantly:

1. With the power source on, the Power, LAN and WAN LEDs of the WLAN Router will keep

lighting blue for a few seconds, the CPU keeps flashing blue.

2. About 5 seconds later, only Power, Enabled wireless (2.4G/5G) and the connected LAN

LEDs keep lighting, CPU keeps flashing. Other LED is off.

3.3 Set up the Computer

The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Subnet Mask is

255.255.255.0. Both of these parameters can be changed as you want. In this guide, we

will use the default values for description.

Connect the local PC to the LAN port on the Router. There are then two ways to configure

the IP address for your PC.

Configure the IP address manually

Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (“xxx” range from 2 to

254). The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (Router’s default IP

address).

Obtain an IP address automatically

Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in Obtain an IP address automatically mode on your PC.

Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the

network connection between your PC and the Router. Open a command prompt,

and type in ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in above figure, it means that the connection

between your PC and the Router has been established.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the above figure, it means that your PC has

not connected to the Routersuccessfully. Please check it following below steps:

1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?

If correct, the LAN port on the Router and LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit.

2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?

Since the Router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC’s IP address must be within the

range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254, the Gateway must be 192.168.1.1.

4. CONNECTING TO INTERNET

This chapter introduces how to configure the basic functions of your Dual Band Wireless

Router so that you can surf Internet.

4.1 Login Web Interface

With a Web-based utility, for example Google Chrome, this Router is easy to configure and

manage.

Connect to the Router by typing 192.168.1.1 in the address field of Web Browser. Then

press Enter key.

It will show up the following page:

Click Setup Tool icon to access the Web Interface of the Router. Then below

window will pop up that requires you to enter valid User Name and Password.

Enter admin for User Name and Password, both in lower case letters. Then click Log In

button or press Enter key.

Now, you have got into the Router’s configuration interface. First, you will see the current

status of Router:

On the left, it is the guide bar:

Note: If the above screen does not prompt, it means that your web-browser has been set to using a

proxy. Go to Tools menu>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings, in the screen that

appears, cancel the Using Proxy checkbox, and click OK to finish it.
