Asante Technologies Complete Guide for Configuring Your Asante Router

Page 6

The router’s dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) server function will assign IP addresses in the range 192.168.123.100 through 192.168.123.199.

The router’s default IP address is 192.168.123.254.

The Internet service that is connected to the router’s Internet port is con- nected to an ISP that will supply a dynamic (not fixed) IP address to the router.

To configure the router:

1.Start your web browser and type http://192.168.123.254 in the location field. Press the Enter key.

2.Login to the router using the default password (admin) and clicking the Login button.

3.From the top navigation bar, click on the Setup button.

4.From the WAN Type screen, select the one that best describes your Inter- net connection. Click the Next button.

5.Fill in any network settings required by your ISP.

6.If you have changed any of the settings, click the Save and Restart Router buttons.

7.Restart all the computers on your network.

8.To verify your Internet connection, connect to www.asante.com from your browser.

Note: During normal operation, the router’s case may feel warm. The sturdy metal case is designed to radiate heat away from the internal electronic compo- nents. This convection-cooled design is preferred over noisier, fan cooled routers.

The basic configuration of your Asanté router is now complete. The rest of this document provides additional information on security, advanced and wireless settings.
