Chapter 3. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your 300Mbps Multi-Function
Wireless N Router using Quick Setup Wizard within minutes.
3.1 TCP/IP Configuration
The default domain name of the Router is http://tplinklogin.net and the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router and then you can configure the IP address for
your PC by the following method: 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
Appendix B: "Configuring the PC”.
Then 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 192.168.0.1, and then press Enter.
¾ If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 3-1, it means the connection between your PC
and the Router has been established well.
