2. PC Configuration
To communicate and configure 802.11n AP router, the PC on your LAN must install TCP/IP
protocol. Make sure the TCP/IP protocol of the PC is configured for Obtain IP address from
DHCP and is connected to LAN (Ethernet) port of the AP router. In doing so, the PC obtains an
IP address of 192.168.1.1 from 802.11n AP router.
The 802.11n AP router assumes an IP address of 192.168.1.1 without network connectivity.
This IP address is used for communicating with the 802.11n AP router via the web UI or Telnet,
with the PC connected to the LAN port.
The 802.11n AP router assumes a DHCP IP address on the WAN side if connected to the
network. In this case user can communicate with the same IP address 192.168.1.1 with PC
connected to the LAN port. PC in the network can communicate with the DHCP IP address
allocated to 802.11n router.

3. Configure Wireless Router via Web Based Utility
The Wireless Router implements a Web server allowing user configure this device via the web
based Utility. This Utility provides comprehensive system management scheme, including
system configuration, performance monitoring, system maintenance and administration.
3.1 Access Web Based Configuration Utility
To access the Web-Based Configuration Utility, you have to launch your Internet Browser. (MS
IE 5.0 or later, Netscape Navigator 4.7 or later).
Step1: Enter Wireless Router’s default IP address as http://192.168.1.1 in the Address field
then press Enter.
Step2: Login dialog box will appear, enter admin as Administrator Name and 1234 as default
Administrator Password, and then click “Login” to access Configuration Utility.
18
Step3: After log in, you can see the Main menu as below.
3.2 Operation Mode
In this option, you can configure the operation mode which suitable for your environment. The
default setting is Gateway. There have three modes is provided:
-- Bridge: All Ethernet and wireless interfaces are bridged into a single bridge interface.
When Bridge mode is applied, there have some functions change in Internet Settings section.
As you can see in below, Internet Settings section only has “LAN”, “DHCP Client”, “VPN
Passthrough”, “DNS”, and “Advanced Routing” for Bridge Mode’s configuration.
19
-- Gateway: The first Ethernet port is treated as WAN port. The other Ethernet ports and the
wireless interface are bridge together and are treated as LAN ports.
-- Ethernet Converter: The wireless interface is treated as WAN port and the Ethernet ports
are LAN ports. After Ethernet Converter mode is applied, the WAN will change from Ethernet
type to wireless type. There will be five LAN ports and one wireless WAN port. User must
configure wireless encryption connection and set the necessary protocols.
