Configuring Your PC’s IP Address

Before you start to access the router using the Ethernet connection, you must configure your PC to use DHCP, or change your PC's TCP/IP address to be 192.168.1.x, where x is any number between 2 and 254, with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

Your router's default IP address is 192.168.1.1.

Assigning an IP Address to your PC Automatically by DHCP
