INSTALLING AND CONFIGURING TCP/IP
To access the Internet through the SpeedStream 2614 DSL/Cable Router, you must configure it and your network computers with same IP subnet. Manually configure the IP address for client computers or obtain it automatically from the SpeedStream 2614’s DHCP service.
The default network settings for the SpeedStream 2614 are:
IP Address: 192.168.254.254
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
