Chapter 4: Quick Installation Guide

After connecting the RG54SE II Router into your network, you should configure it. This
chapter describes how to configure the basic functions of your RG54SE II Wireless
Router. These procedures only take you a few minutes. You can access the Internet via
the router immediately after successfully configuring.

4.1 TCP/IP configuration

The default IP address of the RG54SE II 54Mbps Wireless Router is 192.168.1.1. And the
default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN. They can be
changed as you desire, as an example we use the default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the router. There are then two ways to
configure the IP address for your PC.
Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do
this, please refer to
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is
from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0, and Gateway is 192.168.1.1
(The router's default IP address)
Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on
your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, please refer to
B: "Configuring the PC."
2) Power off the router and PC. Then turn on the router and restart the PC. The
built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the network
connection between your PC and the router. The following example is in Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in figure 4-1, the connection between your
PC and the router has been established.
