4.2 Setting your NBG-418N to Router Mode
The NBG-418N is set to wireless router mode by default. If it was changed and now you want to set it back, do the following procedure.
1Connect your computer to the LAN port of the NBG-418N.
2The default LAN IP address of the NBG-418N is 192.168.1.1 in router mode (192.168.1.2 by default in non-router mode). In router mode, the NBG-418N can assign your computer an IP address, so you must set your computer to get an IP address automatically (computer factory default) or give it a fixed IP address in the range between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254.
3After you’ve set your computer’s IP address, open a web browser such as Internet Explorer and type the IP address of the NBG-418N as the web address in your web browser.
4Log into the Web Configurator. See the Chapter 2 on page 17 for instructions on how to do this.
