Router Configuration

The first time you setup the Router it is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single

computer making sure that both the computer and the Router are not connected to the LAN. Connect the

computer directly to either NAT port, port 3 or 4 Once the WAN connection is functioning properly, you

may continue to make changes to Router configuration including IP settings and DHCP setup. This chapter

is concerned mainly with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. Instructions are also

provided for basic LAN configuration. The following chapter describes how to set up the advanced features

of the Router.

Note: The computer used to manage the computer must be connected to one

of the NAT ports or it will not be able to connect to the Router's

management software.

In order to configure your system to receive IP settings from the Router it must first have the TCP/IP

protocol installed. If you have an Ethernet port on your computer, it probably already has TCP/IP protocol

installed. See Appendix B for instruction on how to configure Windows computers to be DHCP clients.

For computers running non-Windows operating systems, follow the instructions for your OS that configure

the system to receive an IP address from the Router, that is, configure the system to be a DHCP client.

For computers using manually configured IP settings, make sure the IP address is on the same subnet as the

Router. The computer should use an IP address in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 with a subnet

mask of 255.255.255.0.
