4.  IP Address Setting 
If you lost the CD-ROM or you prefer the traditional web setup, please follow 
the procedures of chapter 4 and chapter 5 to configure the router. Using the 
router to get into the Internet, the PCs in the network must have Ethernet 
adapter installed and be connected to the router either directly or through a 
hub or switch. The TCP/IP protocol of each PC has to been installed and the 
IP Address of each PC has to be set in the same subnet as the router. 
 
The router’s default IP Address is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 
255.255.255.0. PCs can be configured to obtain IP Address automatically 
through the DHCP Server of the router or a fixed IP Address in order to be in 
the same subnet as the router. By default, the DHCP Server of the router is 
enabled and will dispatch IP Address to PC from 192.168.1.100 to 
192.168.1.200. It is strongly recommended to set obtaining IP address 
automatically.
