Router Configuration

All Operating Systems

The router must be configured to match your Internet service. If you do not know your Internet connection configuration, please contact your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

By default, the router is pre-configured with these settings:

•Automatically set IP addresses for computers on your LAN (connected to the router’s ports 1–4). The router acts as a server for dynamic host configuration protocol (DHCP) and assigns IP addresses in the range 192.168.123.100 through 192.168.123.199

•The default LAN IP address for the router is 192.168.123.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0

•The Internet service connected to the router’s WAN port uses a dynamic IP address

Note: To configure the router, you will need to use the information you collected when determining network settings (Computer Configuration) for your operating system.

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

2.Log in to the router using the default password (“admin”) and click the Log in button.

3.From the top navigation bar, click on the Wizard link.

4.Follow the on-screen instructions.

5.Fill in the network settings using the information gathered during Computer Configuration.

6.When you are finished, click Save.You will be prompted to restart your router for changes to take effect. Click the Restart Router button and follow the prompts. Your router will be restarted and you will have to log in again.

7.Restart all the computers on your network.

8.To verify your Internet connection, try connecting to the www.asante.com website from your web browser.

The basic configuration of your Asanté router is now complete. See the User’s
