Setting up the router

Network settings

To use the router, you must correctly configure the network settings of your computers. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These addresses can be changed as needed, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of your computer has not yet been configured, see “Configuring your computers” on page 45, for information.

We recommend that you configure your computers to obtain TCP/IP settings automatically from the DHCP server feature of the router.
