Steps / methods:
Before setting up the router, set the configuration of network properties of the computers used to manage the router first.
Following Windows XP SP2 as example to illustrate the process of the computer’s TCP / IP configuration:
1. Start the computer, right-click on the desktop or the Start “Network Neighborhood” choose “Properties”;
PS: Ignore the others such as “1394 connection” and “Wi-Fi” connection, only the “local connection” to complete this operation.
2. Right-click Local Area Connection “choose” Properties “, select” Internet Protocol (TCP / IP) “and click” Properties”:
3. The computer is set to “obtain IP addresses automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically” and click “OK “;
4. Then right-click “Local Area Connection” and Select “status” view “support”;
PS: If the setting is correct, router address type, subnet mask, and default gateway should be the same as the previous figure, the IP address is not necessarily 192.168.1.3, but should be 192.168.1. × (× 2 to 254a value).
5. Ping in the DOS command line to detect the connection between the computer and the router.
a) Find the “Start” -> “Run”, type cmd, and click “OK” to open the DOS command line:
b) Entered in the command line “ping 192.168.1.1″ then Enter, “Reply from 192.168.1.1 ……” then the computer and the router has connectivity:
c) Additional information, such as “Request timedout”, connection between computer and router is unavailable.
