2-2 Connecting to the router by Web browser
After the network connection is built, the next step is to set up
the router with proper network parameters so it can work properly in
your network environment.
Before you can connect to the router and start the configuration
procedures, your computer must be able to get an IP address
automatically (use a dynamic IP address). If it’s set to use a static
IP address, or if you’re unsure, configure your computer to use a
dynamic IP address using these steps:
If the operating system of your computer is:
Windows 2000
- go to section 2-2-1
Windows XP
- go to section 2-2-2
Windows Vista/Windows 7 - go to section 2-2-3
Windows 8 - go to section 2-2-4
2-2-1 Windows 2000 IP address setup:
1. Click Start (it should be located at the lower-left corner of your
desktop), then click Control Panel. Double-click the
Network and
Dial-up Connections
icon; click
Local Area Connection.
The

window will appear. Select
“Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click Properties.
