you are connecting the router via USB, refer to Chapter 2 - USB Driver Installation

on page 4 of the User's Manual on CD.

You have two options. Following option (1) is simplest. This is the Windows

default network setting.

OPTION 1.

If your computer is already configured to obtain an IP address automatically

(from a DHCP server), do nothing. By default the router is a DHCP server. Now

go to Section 5 – Getting On-Line.

If you are unsure of your computer's network setting refer to Chapter 3 – Configure

PC to get IP address from DHCP on page 18 of the User's Manual.

OPTION 2.

The router's default address is 192.168.1.1. If you prefer to assign an IP address

manually, use 192.168.1.x (x is a number between 2 and 254).
