Chapter 3: Basic Installation
You can configure the Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router through the convenient and
user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux and
Windows 98 / NT /2000 / XP / ME / 7 / Vista include a web browser as a standard application.
PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly or
through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must 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 between 192.168.1.1 and 192.168.1.253). The easiest way is to configure the PC is to obtain
an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing
the router’s web interface you are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as
they can cause problems when trying to access the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router.
Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC’s network environment. First of all, 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.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the Mobile Broadband Wireless-N Router. To configure
other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer’s
documentation.
